We look forward to your submissions!

In the past few years, people who have visited the "Art of the Brain" exhibition have shown an interest in buying the photographs. Again, this year, with help from Mount Sinai's Development Office, we are able to offer the images, for a minimum donation, to anyone who is interested in buying them. All donations will go into a philanthropy fund that has been set up specifically to support the The Friedman Brain Institute's Art of the Brain Programing and Diversity in Neuroscience (#DiverseBrains) initiative.

In the event that your image should "sell", you will receive a tax receipt from the Development Office in the amount of the "Fair Market Value" of the piece (determined by the cost of the materials).

** Donating your image is in no way necessary, or required, for your image to be included in the exhibition or competition.
