A recent study, according to the Director General, Frédéric Palardy, showed that 87% of people who attend creative workshops have noticed an improvement in their health and that 66% go to hospitals less.
Purpose
Data which proves that Impatients have their reason for being and that art is good.
“In recent months, we have seen the importance of being concerned about mental health. We have all been exposed to its fragility. The exhibition Talk to me about love is a great opportunity to unite around a collective issue, but also to take concrete action on the people around us, to value them and to recognize them, ”he said.
Currently closed, the workshops will resume gradually during the fall in compliance with health measures.
The auction exhibition Talk to me about love kicks off on Friday at 8 a.m. and ends on October 29 at 8 p.m. People will be able to make their donations on the virtual auction platform. It is also possible to visit it by appointment. The seats are limited. Details are online at impatient.ca.
