The Sexual Health Art Show is a new addition this year and is open to any Wesleyan individual or group who wants to use their artistic skills to educate their peers. We encourage Wesleyan community members to participate in the Sexual Health Art Show in a manner that supports others in expanding their knowledge and awareness of sexual health issues, as well as encouraging personal responsibility when it comes to one’s own health. Proposals for artwork submissions are due Friday, March 6; actual artwork must be submitted on Thursday, March 26. 

Student groups who wish to table, present a workshop or create a poster presentation are welcome to participate in the Sexual Health Expo as well. Proposals for these activites are also due Friday, March 6.
