Art therapy themes are created on a monthly basis by our Medical Advisors for individuals with mental health conditions, chronic/terminal illness, physical/mental impairments,

trauma, addiction, PTSD, & burnout.

• Each Open Call lasts for the month to allow space to fully explore the theme. 
• Create in the manner & medium that is unique to you.
• Recognize that healing is the goal rather than perfection.

• We feature 25 - 45 submitted works per month from the international community to inspire you on your creative journey. 
• Our Art Judges and Staff also submit work to provide style guidance for those new to the Arts.

• The 34 Gallery offers professional art critiques for our selected artists, which can assist in securing additional career and creative opportunities.
• Please note: We can only provide critiques for work that has been accepted in our Open Calls or Interludes.

• Certificates of Honor are also provided as proof of Open Call participation. 
• All 34 Gallery Artists are able to attain professional recommendation letters for employment and/or school upon request. 

Additional mental health arts advocacy positions include serving as volunteer Art Judges, Article Contributors, and United Nations Volunteers Staff.
