"Art & Mind" is an interactive community art exhibition exploring the topic of mental health, launching at The Clay Factory on Thursday 9th November 6 - 8pm, also open Friday 10th and Saturday 11th November from 11am - 2pm.
Over a period of several weeks a group of 10 people worked together to explore the topic of mental health through art, making work primarily out of cardboard and other recycled materials. Some of the participants had little to no art experience. Together they worked to produce this exhibition which includes interactive stations where visiting members of the public may choose to contribute to the exhibition should they wish. Also on display will be collaborative output from over 1 year of The Art Club and also monthly 'Walk, Meditate, Create' day retreats.
The open evening will include talks from guest speakers at 6.30pm on the topic of creativity and mental health.
This promises to be an exciting and unique exhibition, suitable for all ages, encouraging dialogue on mental health and the role creativity can play. Entrance is free and you may come along any day. However, to join us on the open evening please email jamila@artmoorhaven.org to reserve your place or send a message to Artmoor Haven here via FB.
