Recent Project Artist / Curator: Art Bubble & Art Bubble Archive September - December 2023 (Online Exhibition Ongoing) >>> www.artsforhealthmk.org.uk/Art-Bubble-Archive <<< In collaboration with Arts for Health MK, Art Bubble was established, the project recognised that since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in late 2019 many of us have faced additional, consequential health challenges and been left feeling anxious or with difficult experiences to process. Four series of weekly art sessions were set up in a safe, friendly, supportive environment, for adults over the age of 18, with a diagnosis or pre-diagnosis of a mental health concern. Participants were helped to explore and express their concerns through drawing, collage and mixed-media artworks and had the opportunity to to contribute to an online exhibition, which can be found alongside archived evaluation here. Project Partners: Arts for Health MK / MK Council Public Health team. |
