Organised by Clare Cooke from Healing Art the exhibition is raising funds through donations and sales for three charities: Womankind, Talk Club Bristol and Young Minds.
“I decided to organise this exhibition as I thought it was an effective way of reaching a variety of people, to share a message that I think is really important. That message is - creativity is powerful, helpful and rewarding- for everyone! I invited a great range of artists using a variety of media with the aim to inspire others. Each artist was invited to say what creativity gives to them or how they feel when they are making art- and that is what ties us all together. Each person’s art is displayed with their words. “ Clare Cooke, Healing Art
The exhibition continues this week opening Weds 10:30am - 12:30pm, Fri 11:30am - 2:30pm, Sat 4-7pm and Sun 3-6pm.
