Severe ME Artists Project

2024

#MEAction is excited to announce our Severe ME Artists Project 2024 Gallery! This gallery features work from those within the severe ME community and is in recognition of Severe ME Day on August 8th.

​

We had over 140 submissions, and we are blown away by this response – thank you!

​

This project was created with an idea to allow those with severe ME to share their artwork with the larger community and provide an opportunity to be SEEN! The work featured here includes pieces that were created both before and after people became severely ill.

​

We also want to acknowledge the grief that happens for those unable to practice their art due to illness and those who have had to change the way they continue their craft.

​

On this page, you will find the video compilation, writers gallery, and the many images submitted. There is a lot on this page, so please take your time and come back often!

​

*Severe ME Day on August 8th was started by the 25% group. We are grateful for their work and very eager to support artists in the severe ME community.
