We are excited to announce that Fadime Arasteh from Barrie is the winner of the 2026 Empower Simcoe Artisans’ Card Contest!
Supported by Empower Simcoe’s Family Support program, Fadime Arasteh and her son, Sebastian, believe that each of us carries a special light – one that grows brighter through kindness, support, compassion, encouragement and unity.
Her colourful and uplifting drawing, Together We Shine, reflects the strength of coming together and the endless possibilities that grow when we support one another.
“My artwork represents the power of unity and the possibilities that grow when we lift each other up,” says Fadime.
Please join us in congratulating Fadime for sharing this inspiring artwork, which proudly graces our Empower Simcoe Thank You card.
A special thank you to Creative Cafe Barrie for generously sponsoring this year’s contest!
Their continued support is invaluable and helps inspire the artist in all of us.
