Art of Hope to raise awareness about eating disorders through the artistic experience
Hopewell, Ottawa’s eating disorders outreach program, is melding drag, performing, and visual arts at their outreach and awareness event Art of Hope, partaking at Orange Art Gallery on May 11. Hopewell has partnered with local artists to feature cool things people want to do while promoting their resources to address stigma and misinformation surrounding eating disorders. Art of Hope will be hosted by local drag queen JD Merciii and will showcase a plethora of art, including pieces from student artists attending Beatrice-Desloges Catholic Secondary School, an arts-focused high school in Orleans.
