Mental Health Art Show
Posted on 15/04/08
P. Klein
AN exhibition focusing on the role of art in improving peoples mental health will take place at Leicesters City Gallery.
The show, entitled Future Bright, is the first open art show run by the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) and will feature work submitted by budding artists from across the region.
It will be on show at the City Gallery from April 21, before touring Leicestershire and Rutland during the spring and summer. Visitors will be able to vote for their favourite pictures the overall winners will be displayed prominently at various LPT sites.
LPT chief executive Antony Sheehan said: This art show is a great opportunity for people to use their creativity to express their own feelings about the future and also to showcase their talent. Art can be a great source of therapy for people.
The arts can also play a valuable role in helping to reduce the stigma sometime associated with mental illness and I hope people will show their support by visiting our exhibition and voting for their favourite pieces.
For more details of this or any other event at the City Gallery, visit www.leicester.gov.uk/citygallery.
