9th Exeter Arts & Therapies Conference
Friday September 17th 2010. 10.00am -4.30pm. The Exeter Guildhall, Devon.
Doom & Bloom
In challenging times people need both art and community more not less.
Promoting successful Arts & Mental Health practice work in Devon.
When EATc began in 2001 there were few projects in Devon specifically working with the arts and mental health. This event celebrates an explosion in their diversity, range and number since then. We are offering many groups ‘shop windows’ into that they do and with many of the people doing this. The pace will be fast and furious! We will be showing educational, community, environmental and therapeutic approaches to creativity in living.
It is a chance to gather, give and receive inspiration and to feel our strength in numbers. We hope it will mark the beginning of an Arts & Emotional Health network for Devon. Because of its Devon focus we will only process Devon applications until the end of July . Application forms: www.insiderart.org.uk, info@insiderart.org.uk, or 01392 677258
The event is very affordable (£20, or £12 concessions) thanks to the generous help of Devon Partnership NHS Trust, The Self Heal Association and Insider Art, supported by Arts & Health South West. The event is doubling as a membership meeting for AHSW.
