This in person exhibition runs June 23 to July 14, 2024 Entry Deadline: May 31, 2024

It’s the unexpected aesthetic that emerges when we embrace the imperfections of the creative process.

Art 22 Project
Art 22 is a collaborative endeavor featuring 22 artists from around the country.
Why 22? Suicide is a significant problem affecting military service members and veterans. Although it may vary per year, Department of Veterans Affairs estimates suggest that 22 veterans may die by suicide each day.
Coordinated by S.C.R.A.P. Gallery, each artist will start their artwork with one repurposed cardboard square. All 22 final contributions will create one cohesive work. Artists will incorporate the themes of healing, hope, and resiliency.
The finished Art 22 will be unveiled at the Invisible Wounds 22K on April 13, 2024, at Dennis Keat Soccer Park in Cathedral City.
