Seeing The Soul Art Prize & Exhibition in Support of Mental Health

Hoofbeats Sanctuary is a mental health charity in Doonan. The sanctuary is a safe, restorative space that brings people, animals and nature together to improve the emotional well-being of some of the most vulnerable members of our community – those living with mental health challenges resulting from trauma. Equine therapy programs are a key part of their work.

Seeing the Soul: Hoofbeats Sanctuary Art Prize and Exhibition is a major annual fundraising initiative to support and promote the Sanctuary’s work by celebrating and showcasing equine art and raising awareness of mental health.

In 2023, the inaugural event will be held at Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre from 31 March to 30 April 2023.

In addition to the exhibition of works from over 40 artists, 20 ceramic horse statues will be decorated by a range of Australia’s most loved and respected celebrities. The pieces will be auctioned live and online during the Closing Event.
