The 28th annual Mosaic for Mental Health brings together hundreds of donated artworks to support mental health awareness and community programming. Presented by CMHA Halifax–Dartmouth, this year’s exhibition explores the theme of kindness and runs from October 15–27, 2026, at The Craig Gallery, Alderney Landing, Dartmouth, with artwork also available to browse and purchase online.

Proceeds support the branch’s Social Connection programs for adults living with mental illness and mental health concerns, creating opportunities for connection and belonging in an inclusive, welcoming environment.


Four paintings by Roy for Mosaic for Mental Health 2026, arranged beside paints and brushes.

How We Keep Each Other – original 6 × 6-inch paintings on Fabriano paper


Roy’s Contribution: How We Keep Each Other

For this year’s fundraiser, Roy donated four original 6 × 6-inch paintings on Fabriano paper, brought together under the collection title How We Keep Each Other.

The paintings explore kindness through familiar gestures: sharing what we have, making room for someone else, offering shelter, and keeping a light on.
