ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
MEND runs Friday, August 7th to Saturday, August 29th. The Gallery is open 11-3 Wednesday through Saturday.
MEND showcases artists to exploring the restorative power of creativity. This exhibition focuses on art as a vital instrument for emotional resilience, looking beyond the finished piece to the healing found in the act of creation itself.
We’ve welcomed submissions from artists of all levels and backgrounds that reflect personal journeys of recovery, growth, and the finding of peace through expression. Join us in a safe, inclusive space where we celebrate how art helps us process life’s challenges and build community.
We are pleased to welcome Caroline Booth as our guest curator. Watch for some fun activities she will be leading.
