Art Dublin 08
‘The Art of the Mind’
After the success of ArtDublin’07 (See www.artdublin.ie), in which Art to Order and BT2 took over €50,000 through its tills in aid of Focus Ireland and amounted to over €300,000 worth of PR for the artists, the charity and all involved.
We are now launching ArtDublin’08; a 10 day exhibition in aid of AWARE.
AWARE is a voluntary organization formed in 1985 by a group of interested patients, relatives and
mental health professionals, whose aims are to assist that section of the population who are directly
affected by depression.
Just some of the shocking most recent statistics include the fact that suicide is now the
single biggest killer of young men aged 15-24 in Ireland and the fact that 1 in 4 men and 1 in 2 women will experience
depression at some point in their lives.
Art to Order invites you to apply to become one of the featured artists in ArtDublin’08:
