A4MH VIRTUAL DATATHON
Mass Culture in partnership with Mississauga Arts Council is excited to announce our upcoming first virtual Datathon event! Mass Culture & Mississauga Arts Council (MAC), are co-hosting a three-day virtual Canada-Wide Datathon that runs on September 7-9, 2021 to collect research, resources, and projects that pertain to arts and mental health. Our goal is to collect one-hundred resources that will be shared in a central repository and made available to artists, health care providers, and the public. This data will help inform the upcoming Arts For Mental Health conference on October 6th.
To support Arts + Mental Health research, we’re looking for Canada-wide participants to attend this great initiative to contribute more sources toward arts and mental health. The event runs from September 7-9th and will have fun activities, workshops, and prizes!
