"The University of Bolton would be delighted to invite you to a preview Arts & Health exhibition on Tuesday, 3rd
July.
This will be your opportunity to sample the reflective work of
artists, who participated in the pilot course, 'Arts for Health and
Wellbeing: Becoming a Practitioner'. The course was designed in
conjunction with Bolton Primary Care Trust, Bolton Council and Bolton at
Home for professional artists who were experienced in running workshops
and who wanted to gain an insight into working with people in health,
mental health, community, or social care contexts.
The artists have chosen a variety of
media such as painting, poetry, polymer clay, video and craft to explore
the impact that creativity and reflective practice have on health and
wellbeing. They were asked to use their medium as a tool to explore their own
sense of well being over a period of a few weeks. This process has
allowed the artists to gain an insight into what a participant on an
arts and health initiative may experience as they begin to use arts as a
tool for self-discovery.
The exhibition will take place on the 3rd floor of Senate House (textiles room) at 4pm – 6pm on Tuesday 3rd
July. Refreshments will be provided and artists will be available to
discuss their work. The show will remain open until noon on Friday 6th July. (Please refer to zone E on the campus map: http://www.bolton.ac.uk/AboutUs/CampusMap.aspx.)
So, if you're in the Bolton area between tomorrow and Friday, do stop by and have a look at our work. And if you are interested in the course, I'd definitely recommend it :-)
