In a new initiative for 2021, Diabetes Canada, in partnership with the AGO, will host a unique and first-ever art competition as a way of interacting with the broader community to submit their art work. Finalists and overall winners will be announced in June and featured in Diabetes Canada’s social and event virtual galleries, on merchandise and on the AGO’s website and AGO Insider this year, the 100-year commemorative year of the discovery of insulin.

The impact of diabetes is widespread and complex. Art of the Matter provides the community and beyond, whether an individual is living with diabetes, has a family member or friend living with diabetes, is a health-care provider caring for patients, or is new to learning about diabetes, with a wonderful opportunity to connect, support, and learn from each other while sharing experiences through art.

The competition is open to all skill levels and participation from across Canada, and internationally, fostering community during a particularly difficult time.
