We are looking for artwork that conveys all sides of addiction—whether it be the struggle, the stigma, the moments of hope, or the journey of recovery. We are particularly interested in pieces that challenge perceptions of addiction, deepen empathy, and celebrate the resilience of individuals in recovery.
