Art is a powerful healing tool to explore deep emotions - the sorrows, the struggles, and the joys.  It has the ability to transform us by awakening parts of ourselves, to recover and heal, expanding our growth and understanding of ourselves and the world. Through the creation and appreciation of artwork, poetry and music, we can find heightened understanding of ourselves and our world, developing deeper personal vocabularies for a fuller identity. 

 Through the sharing of the healing power of art,  we can open up a greater community dialogue for a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the artist’s creative world and in doing so, help those who suffer in the mental health with a new medium of expression.

Ten percent of proceeds of each artwork will benefit a non-profit organization that support the mental health community.  We strive to give those whose lives have been disrupted by mental illness an opportunity to experience meaningful work and relationships as they reintegrate into the broader community.  

We would like to thank all the artists in this journey who have opened their hearts and souls in sharing their creativity.  They have allowed Siy Gallery a window into their lives, their struggles and their triumphs in helping create this special forum.
