The Art-A-Thon With Impact is a 12-hour creativity and wellness festival, raising funds for the nonprofit organization Art With Impact. It will take place on Saturday, November 3, 2018, at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR.
Young people aged 16-25 are invited to participate in groups of 2-8, with each group working with one artistic medium. In 8 hours, each group will create an original work of art that is connected to themes of mental health and wellness. Sign up to participate at www.art-a-thon.org.

AWI's mission is to promote mental wellness by creating space for young people to learn and connect through art and media. We use the arts and creativity to promote discussion about mental health, and reduce stigma around mental illness. AWI is committed to a future where artists are revered as cultural icons of courage and change, enabling young people to communicate freely and fearlessly about their mental health.
