LIFE ON THE LINE

IS BACK!

Life on the Line is a public art project and mental health awareness campaign on the Toronto TTC Subway. Ten artworks relating to mental health by ten different artists were exhibited across 200 20" x 27" posters on the Line 1 Subway from November 16th, 2020 - January 16th, 2021 to raise awareness for mental health and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association Toronto's Family Outreach and Response Program.

​

50 limited edition (signed & numbered) prints of each of the ten selected works are still available for sale in our e-commerce store, where 75% of all sales will be donated to the CMHA Toronto's Family Outreach and Response Program (the other 25% will be paid to artists).

FAMILY OUTREACH & RESPONSE

The Family Outreach and Response Program (FOR) at CMHA Toronto is a recovery-oriented and trauma-informed program that provides much needed support to families in the City of Toronto

​

FOR fills a critical gap in our mental health system, working with many families who’s loved one is not receiving any mental health support. FOR is often the only service available to these families who would otherwise be excluded from the system. 

75% of all print sales will be donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Toronto's Family Outreach & Response Program.
