Local Art Show Features Works of Patients and Caregivers

SARATOGA SPRINGS – Tickets are now available to this year’s “Art with Heart & Hope” at Universal Preservation Hall. Now in its fourth year, “Art with Heart & Hope” is a pop-up exhibition and celebration of patients and caregivers who channel complex feelings into expressive creations, using their craft to cope with the many challenges of life with illness or disability. 

“Art with Heart & Hope” combines the healing power of art with the equally powerful component of storytelling. Works are displayed alongside written statements from the artists, who share the ways art helps them move beyond their personal battles with illness or disability. It is an evening full of inspiration, awareness, and community partnered with food, drink, live music, and exciting raffles. This year’s headlining sponsors include Vahanian and Associates and the Times Union.

“My staff and I were delighted that Beyond My Battle’s ‘Art with Heart & Hope’ 2021 was the first fundraiser in the venue since the grand reopening in February 2020.” says Teddy Foster, Executive Director of Universal Preservation Hall. “[BMB] hosted an amazing art show attended by many people. It was a very fun event and UPH was the perfect setting!” 

The event will take place on Thursday, September 8, 2022, from 5:30 to 8:30 PM at Universal Preservation Hall in Saratoga Springs. Tickets can be purchased online at BeyondMyBattle.org/tickets for $48 or at the door for $50. All proceeds benefit Beyond My Battle.
