Mental health teams collaborate for art exhibition

Posted by Devon Partnership Trust in Mental health, News on 22nd April, 2024

The Devon Mental Health Alliance and our Eastern Rehabilitation Community Team have collaborated to put together an art and poetry exhibition at this year's Exeter Phoenix Bloom Festival.

All the work displayed has been created by service users, their family members, carers and supporting staff members. The project aims to give artists a unique opportunity to share their magnificent talents with the Exeter community, and for the Bloom Festival 2024.

An artist who contributed to the exhibition said: “Being part of this exhibition has been such a massive confidence boost for me and I am so pleased to be involved.”

James Raemers, who works across the two teams and put the exhibition together, said: “I'm aware of the immense effort everyone put into making this possible, and the reception of the exhibition has been overwhelmingly positive thus far. I hope that this recognises that art can be very beneficial towards meaningful and positive engagement as well as confidence building.”

The exhibition is free to visit and open daily until Sunday 19 May.

Service users will also be providing some music performances as part of the festival on Sunday 12 May, 1-3pm.

More information about Bloom Festival 2024 can be found on the Exeter Phoenix website.
