ART FOR LIFE: A Fundraising Art Show

ART FOR LIFE is a fundraising art show and sale benefiting Crisis Support Services of Alameda County.

ART FOR LIFE will feature exciting and interesting art for both well-known and yet-to-be discovered artists from the East Bay and beyond. Attendees will be served delightful food and drink as they peruse the silent auction featuring many art related packages. We will also hold a raffle where every ticket is a winning ticket. This event benefits Crisis Support Services of Alameda County which operates a 24-hour hotline, youth text line, school and community-based counseling, and also school and community-based educational presentations. All of our services are focused on reducing suicide and crisis, and improving wellness in our communities. In 2018 we received more than 50,000 calls on our hotline and were able to help scores of people in crisis.

Join us for a fun-filled and inspiring DAY of art and self-development! If you are navigating your way through balancing career, relationships, life, and other things, this is the event for you! Leave with a clearer mindset of what you need to do to move forward in your life (plus your very own art piece). The SELF CARE ≠ SELFISH workshop will cover an interactive discussion and art activity led by a licensed psychologist & visual artist, Dr. Danessa Mayo.


In order to succeed and thrive in our daily lives, we have to prioritize our health and wellness. This event will be focused on getting to know yourself and exploring the struggles of everyday adulthood in our contemporary society.

The discussion will be followed by a painting party! Think of it as a creative way to begin to build your sense of self.

- Light snacks, wine, and other beverages will be provided
- All art materials will be supplied (canvas, paint, brushes)

And don't worry - this activity is for all levels of art experiences! Nothing to prepare for, nothing else to bring but an open mind and your awesome self! :)
