Artist Jessica Hedrick will paint 365 portraits

The Face of Kelowna
Artist Jessica Hedrick will paint 365 portraits, capturing
the important role that each individual plays in making
Kelowna an exceptional place to live. Proceeds from this
project will fund wellness initiatives for Kelowna citizens
through the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kelowna
and District Branch.
It is free to show solidarity and support for those living and
recovering from mental health issues. Everyone who has
their portrait painted will receive a digital image of the
painting. You can then choose if you would like to make a
donation or an order.
The project will culminate in an art show where all 365
portraits will be displayed and available portraits will be
up for bidding in a silent auction.

Project Goals and Impact
The protective role of community and a sense of belonging is well established when it comes
to mental health. Participants in this project are uniting to form a community by showing their
support for a mentally healthy Kelowna. Mental health issues and illnesses have an impact on
all of us. 20% of Canadians will experience a mental illness in their lifetime and many more
will experience some form of poor mental health. This means that at any time, you are likely
to have a family member, friend, or colleague who could use mental health supports and
services. Despite this high number, many people still feel too ashamed, alone, or afraid to
seek help.
Having your portrait painted shows your solidarity with those living with mental health issues.
This collection of 365 portraits is a powerful way to send the message that Kelowna stands
united to support recovery and wellness: You are not alone. There are people who care
about you.
This project will help increase awareness of mental health issues in Kelowna while also
raising funds for wellness programming, resources, and advocacy.
