Check out the ‘Creative Minds’ art exhibition in Exeter Phoenix!

We’re pleased to have collaborated with the Devon Mental Health Alliance and the Eastern Rehabilitation Community Team on the Creative Minds, art and poetry exhibition for 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.

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

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 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

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