Severe ME Artists Project
2026
#MEAction is excited to announce our Severe ME Artists Project 2026 Gallery! This gallery features work from those within the severe ME community and is in recognition of Severe ME Day on August 8th.
We had over 100 submissions, and we are blown away by this response – thank you!
This project was created to allow those with severe ME to share their artwork with the larger community and be SEEN! The work featured here includes pieces that were created both before and after people became severely ill.
We also want to acknowledge the grief that happens for those unable to practice their art due to illness and those who have had to change the way they continue their craft.
On this page, you will find the video compilation, writers gallery, and the many images submitted. There is a lot on this page, so please take your time and come back often!
The use of generative artificial intelligence is discouraged except in such cases where a person's illness would disallow them from being able to do the work on their own.
*Severe ME Day on August 8th was started by the 25% group. We are grateful for their work and very eager to support artists in the severe ME community.

I am in awe of all of you. Your art is incredible, and what you give of yourselves to produce it is equally if not more impressive. Thank you for shining a much brighter light on this dark disease for me.
Just incredible. The individual pieces were impressive, but in all it is greater than the sum of the parts. Whoever put together the compilation video knocked it out of the park. Congrats to all the artists!
Touching Works
Thank you for helping to ensure that we are seen and not forgotten
I wish you continued strength
