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

June 21, 2021
|
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.”
