VISUALISING THE INVISIBLE: ARTISTS WORKING IN MENTAL HEALTH
Dr Susan Liggett, Glyndwr University and Karen Heald, Research Assistant, Salford University
HUMAN MIND AND BODY
Friday 2 July 6pm, Durber Gallery, North Wales School of Art & Design, Regent Street, Wrexham

Art might sound like the last thing you’d expect to be helping to ease Mental Health patients back to good health, but in a ward of an NHS hospital in North Wales that’s exactly what has been happening. Funded by Safle, one of the largest public art organisations in Wales, in December 2009 Wrexham-based artist and researcher Karen Heald finished a nine-month project as an Artist in Residence at the Ablett Unit, an acute inpatient adult psychiatric unit at the Betsi Cadwaldr University Health Board, Glan Clwyd Hospital. Karen delivered workshops for staff and patients in painting, drawing, creative writing, video/sound and photography. The painting workshops were co-facilitated by Glyndwr University lecturer Susan Liggett. The exhibition Visualising the Invisible includes paintings, films, photographs and installations created by Karen, Susan and patients and staff at the hospital. View the exhibition and hear from the artists who’ve been working on the project about the therapeutic benefits of art.

Workhouse Festival invites to 7th Birthday

The historic Llanfyllin Workhouse will once more become alive with an extravagant camping weekend for young and old. Workhouse Festival is celebrating its 7th Birthday with a 3-day event on the 9,10,11 July 2010.

Enjoy an eclectic mix of music, cabaret, party games, kids activities, healing, traditional skills workshops, stalls and stories – a selection of some of the best moments of the festival’s past, and a big outdoor screening of the World Cup Final on Sunday.

The original Workhouse Festival had to be cancelled for 2010 due to financial difficulties.
Montgomeryshire AM Mick Bates states: “[The cancellation] will be a great disappointment and a loss to the local area which benefits greatly from the annual event.”

The 7th Birthday Party is a much smaller, special fundraising event to rescue the future of the award-winning arts and music festival.

Nina Wehling, a festival spokes woman explains: ” The 7th Birthday Party is free of charge to all Members of the Workhouse Festival as a way of saying thank you with charm and style. A Membership is only £10 for the year and it is easy to register on our website.”

“We will also have a full bar with finest local and organic beers, ales and cider and our in-house catering offers great homemade meat and vegetarian foods from local suppliers at affordable prices.”

Importantly, the team wants everyone to be aware that unlike previous events it will not be possible to purchase membership at the gate. Sign up for membership on the website www.workhousefestival.co.uk so as to receive an invitation before the event.
