In 2019, Beyond My Battle launched this pop-up exhibition to share the work of artists living with illnesses, disabilities, and as caregivers. Now an annual event and show, Art with Heart & Hope celebrates those who channel complex feelings into expressive creations. Art with Heart & Hope combines the healing power of art with the equally powerful component of storytelling. Works are displayed alongside written statements from the artists who share the ways art helps them move beyond their personal battles with illness or disability. Please Note: Artists must either live with a chronic illness, rare disease, or disability – or be the caregiver (past or present) of someone with a chronic illness, rare disease, or disability. All art must be able (and arrive ready) to be displayed on an easel. Artists have the choice to price their work or not sell it - see submission URL for options.
