HC Does Art: Help Us Tell Stories

In honour of Lorna Wreford and her dedication to the Hydrocephalus & Spina Bifida community

Whether you’ve joined our Hydrocephalus Canada Community many years ago or recently, you deserve to be proud of the community and the numerous positive effects it has had on its members. This Art Contest is dedicated in honour of Lorna Wreford whom I first met in 1979. She became a very successful and prolific artist who contributed immensely to the community, including donating art for fund-raising calendars. All current members are invited to use their imaginations to create their own unique image that will celebrate the golden anniversary of HC.

To help you get started on this competition, here are some suggestions that will increase your chances of success and feeling good about what you create.

•               Be sure your art fits into the THEME of the anniversary.

•               Think of how you can make your art unique, something that is original and helps us understand and appreciate YOU.

•               From time to time, try to self-evaluate your art by being your own judge. (Of course, you’ll have to read the judges’ criteria below.)

I wish you all the best as you let your creative ideas flow.
