This site is open to contributions from artists of all kinds who suffer or have suffered from mental illnesses. I want to make it clear that people who aren’t chronically mentally ill, but who have had an experience with mental illness (for instance, a bout of depression) are definitely welcome. There are no other requirements needed to contribute art and to have it published. Diagnosis isn’t an issue. Severity is not an issue. Basically, all I’m looking for is great art that gives insight into the lives of people with mental illnesses.
Anonymity when publishing is not an issue either. I realize that a large amount of work would not be published if artists were required to attach their names. Mental illnesses are such sensitive subjects and people need to feel safe when they express themselves about them. If the thought of attaching your name makes you uncomfortable, you should think seriously about publishing anonymously. I want people to feel comfortable and safe on this site.
So, please, feel free to contribute! If you have something you would like to contribute, email me at divinestsense.media@gmail.com
