About OnCare
OnCare is a community initiative that improves outcomes for Onondaga County children and youth (ages 521) with significant behavioral and emotional challenges and their families by developing a more effective
system of services and supports. OnCare is a federally funded project, and uses system of care principles and
strategies to improve our local service system. For more information about OnCare, visit our website at

About OnCare’s Got Art?
This is the fifth year that OnCare is hosting Got Art?. Got Art? is designed to showcase the artwork of
Onondaga County youth and young adults who have an emotional or behavioral health challenge and other
children that have overcome obstacles. The Got Art? event and exhibit is being held during National
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Month on May 5th, 2015. The theme this year is “Let’s Talk About
It!”. Youth and young adults have the opportunity to express things through art that may be hard to say or to
talk about. They are encouraged to create artwork that shows obstacles and problems that they have
overcome, their mental health issues, things going on within their communities, their dreams for the future,
anything!
Goals of the art event:
1. To allow children to freely express themselves;
2. To decrease stigma and judgment surrounding children with emotional or behavioral challenges; and
3. To teach the community about children’s mental health;
What type of art is featured in Got Art?
Many types of art are accepted for Got Art?. Art can include: written word, 2-dimensional (paintings,
drawings, photography, computer-generated art), 3-dimensional (sculpture, mosaics, quilts), and digital
videos. Oversized artwork will be accepted by groups.
When do I have to have my submission in?
The deadline for submissions is April 22, 2015. All art must be received no later than 4:00pm on April 22,
2015.
Will I get my art back?
Some artwork will be on display at Golisano Children’s Hospital during the summer, but will be returned
to the artists when the display is over. Other submissions will be returned to the artists after Got Art?. If
you’d like your artwork to be on display, please check the box on the submission form.
The Got Art? event will be held at the Museum of Science and Technology (MOST) on May 5, 2015
from 4:00pm-6:00pm. This free, fun event allows youth to showcase their artwork for the community.
Family members, friends and community members are all welcome to attend and celebrate the artists
and their work.
