OPEN ARTS HADLEIGH ART TRAIL SHOWCASE

South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust’s Open Arts team are participating in this year’s Hadleigh Art Trail.

Open Arts will be showcasing a range of artworks, drawings, paintings and prints at The Castlepoint Regeneration Shop in Hadleigh. The Art trail runs from Friday 4 until Sunday 13 October.

The Open Arts Showcase runs across two days, Thursday 10 October and Friday 11 October, 10.30 to 15.30 - where you can see the actual studio in operation, with participants working hard on their artwork. Come along to meet the artists and studio members to find out about Open Arts and how art can benefit your wellbeing through self-expression.

Open Arts Studio is a development of the well-established Open Arts project which encourages artists to work independently as an artist in a studio environment, alongside other artists with the support of each other and a Studio Manager.

Open Arts is open to people who are experiencing mental ill health and those at risk, such as carers.
