Exhibition and workshops – Blank Canvas heads to Our House this July

September 21, 2022
|
by Editor

Our House Community Hub are proud to announce the arrival of their Exhibition and workshops – Blank Canvas, this July.

The event which takes place 24th July at the hub on Heathcote Road, will be a celebration of local artists to help people learn to express themselves, their emotions and improve their mental health.

The team behind Our House explained:

“The majority of people have struggled during the lockdowns, but it was the people that kept us going. On social media it was the posts, tweets, paintings, drawings, poems, paintings, books…these were all inspiring.

“These inspiring people are our neighbours, our community, hero’s saving lives and they don’t even know the impact they are having.

“We wanted to let those people know how they supported me and give them a platform to showcase their work…inspire people.

“This was a perfect opportunity to use the expression Blank Canvas…your mind is a blank canvas, it has been reset by the pandemic…start something new, learn alternative ways to express yourself, your emotions and improve mental health.”

Focusing particularly on nostalgia and the ‘everyday’, Emma is interested in working with individuals and communities, working collectively, and building real relationships over time. Collecting photographs, stories and documenting change.

Nostalgia and memory are a strong focus within her work.  She is interested in the relationship between how our memories and stories have shaped us and the connection to how our current memories are now made.

Clare Gardner

Clare is a self-taught artist. Clare has always done commissions for friends and family and a few years ago Clare launched a small business customising trainers on Instagram and Twitter. Clare is a wife and mother of three boys, and they are huge fans of Liverpool FC. Most of Clare’s portraits are done with colour pencil.

Mary Carr

Mary is a HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist with a passion for art and the use of the arts for health and wellbeing. Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as its primary mode of expression and communication. Words can lose their meaning, but art can help those who are experiencing difficulties in their lives gain greater understanding of what may be driving their thoughts and feelings and to move towards positive change. Art and creativity really can transform lives and Art Therapy can offer an alternative yet powerful and effective means for us to connect with and to share our own life stories.
