Going live

 

This image is from a partnership project between Insider Art and Devon Partnership Trust to enhance the healing environment at the Haldon Unit, Wonford.
After a period of experimentation and conversation we're inviting other people and groups to this party. We hope this can be a place where we can develop connections, inspiration and mutual support. Let us have your links and news!

Magic Carpet 2010


Lots of new creative projects in 2010 for Magic Carpet, our Arts Council funded totalArts project will support a community open studio space for people with mental health issues at Exeter Phoenix, four 10 day artist in residences at Wonford House hospital (much more soon!) and supporting the exhibitioning on the wards on the Cedars unit.

We are also just about to start a three year Big Lottery funded project we've called Moving On, there will be weekly groups, special project groups and groups that support and prepare people to move into community activities. More about these projects and all our groups at www.magiccarpet-arts.org.uk
