Epilepsy in Full Colour

🎨 Calling all individuals affected by epilepsy across BC! 🎨

The Centre for Epilepsy and Seizure Education in BC invites YOU to participate in Epilepsy in Full Colour: Beyond Diagnosis, a powerful art exhibit at Kariton Art Gallery in Abbotsford from April 5–26, 2025.

This unique event is open to all ages and celebrates the creative expressions of individuals whose lives have been touched by epilepsy—whether they live with epilepsy, are caregivers, supporters, or loved ones. It’s an opportunity to share your story through art and be part of an exhibit that highlights resilience, creativity, and strength in the epilepsy community.

The theme, Beyond Diagnosis, invites artists to explore joys, challenges, personal growth, identity, and life beyond the medical label of epilepsy. Whether through a deeply personal story or a broader interpretation, we encourage you to express yourself fully and authentically.

We want to hear your story through art. No need to be an artist—just express yourself! 🖌

✨ We’ll send you the canvas and cover the postage—so anyone across BC can join. ✨ Please submit your canvas back to us by March 20, 2025.

Epilepsy Community Hubs

We’re excited to announce the launch of our Community Hubs initiative, designed for individuals impacted by epilepsy and seizures.

This program creates dedicated virtual spaces on our Facebook platform, providing a supportive environment where people can connect, share experiences, and access valuable resources.

Our first online hub is now live for the Interior region, covering essential topics like seizure management, mental health, and lifestyle strategies. As we continue to expand, we look forward to launching additional hubs across different regions in BC, broadening our reach and community support.
