Art in the Park was a huge success again this year, we had the highest number of registrants that we've had in many years including 99 booths with over 110 artists and artisans. We had so many donations from the artists for our Silent Auction that we ran out of space! But we managed, and we will have a larger space for next year with a lot of wonderful paintings and crafts to offer the public. The late afternoon rain chased away many people but the auction was still a big success. Proceeds will help MICA support its mandate to help caregivers cope with the challenges of having a loved one with a mental illness and our weekly meetings of the Friendship Support Group. The Friendship Support Group is a mental health support group servicing the Ottawa community since 1987 and any individual with a mental illness is welcome to join
MICA would like to gratefully acknowledge the contribution and generosity of our Event Sponsors and the Silent Auction Donors. Artists and artisans donated beautiful artworks, pottery, jewelry, artistic photography, carvings and other lovely items for our Silent Auction. 
Please find below the directory of many of the talented artists and artisans who exhibited at the 2019 event:
Mental Illness Caregivers Association is pleased to announce that the Friendship Support Group program has received a Community Grant from the Ottawa Community Foundation!
