Pain, such as that experienced with migraine, can be disruptive to so many arenas of life. It can also be difficult to explain to others what that pain is like for you. Art can be a powerful tool for expressing thoughts, emotions and conveying experiences to others and a particularly helpful tool in giving a face to your pain that others can begin to comprehend. One purpose of the My Brain Art Tent is to provide people with the opportunity to use different visual art materials to express what their migraine looks like and feels like to them as well as a chance to see the images others have created. What does migraine look like or how are they felt by a caregiver? Our hope is to provide an a space in which people can take time out to tune into their experiences with migraine creatively. Using art to express our experiences with pain can also help reduce pain, either through distraction or through visualizing healing and comfort in the face of a painful moment. Making art may also help shift how you feel about migraine. You are not alone, we are here for one another and when we create art together we begin to celebrate and honor our shared experiences and feel a greater sense of support and belonging.
Passport to Prizes Raffle:
Stop by each of our sponsor booths and earn a chance to win a free registration to our 2020 event AND a snazzy Miles for Migraine baseball hat. After chatting with each sponsor, you earn a raffle ticket. The more visiting you do, the more tickets you earn. We will hold a drawing during the 5K awards ceremony for our lucky winner!
