Gallery Gachet has partnered with Penticton Art Gallery, Ignite the Arts, Tempest Theatre & Film Society, Voices with Impact, Connection Salon, Community Arts Council of Vancouver, and Workman Arts "Rendezvous with Madness" Festival to proudly present “GIFTS OF MADNESS” —a groundbreaking Mad Pride mental health-themed art exhibition.

GIFTS OF MADNESS transcends the boundaries of a traditional art exhibition; it is a celebration of Mad Pride, a movement that fearlessly embraces the challenges of mental health. Curated by the renowned Kagan Goh, the exhibition endeavors to illuminate the multifaceted nature of the mental health experience, navigating the spectrum from negative to positive and exploring all shades in between.

GIFTS OF MADNESS extends an open invitation to artists within the mad arts/disability arts movement, encouraging both emerging and established creators to apply across all artistic mediums. This multimedia, multidisciplinary exhibition will feature a diverse array of expressions, including photography, painting, drawing, installation, sculpture, video, film, readings, and live performances by stand-up comedians, musicians, spoken word artists, storytellers, and theater artists. The exhibition promises to illuminate the personal stories of these mad artists, exploring their journeys from victims to survivors and, ultimately, to activists.
