Social Media Art Show

March 23, 2020

We may be spending more time at home but it doesn’t mean we can’t be our creative selves and make some art. BeConnected is calling all artists for our BeConnected Social Media Art Show! Send us a photo of art you create during this time of self isolation and social distancing, and we will share it on all BeConnected social media platforms. Persons supported, workers, self advocates, family, friends, family of persons supported, children of workers, friends-of-family-of workers-and-persons-supported – you get the picture! Let’s add some COLOUR and LIGHT to all the information circulating about COVID-19 and closures while we do our part in keeping everyone safe in our communities.
