Art of MS Coverage
The Art of MS exhibition was organised to raise awareness of MS and the wide-ranging symptoms to mark World MS Day 2022.
Featuring paintings, digital illustrations, freestanding sculptures and creative video content, the artists used their chosen format to illustrate the symptoms of their disease and the impact it has on their life. You can read more about their work here and a selection of featured media below.
