Open Arts, 2008

Several Curious Planet artists are now working in Essex to support the work of South Essex Mental Health Trust. They are delivering a series of visual arts based workshops with mental health service users which seek to provide new skills and nurture confidence and aspiration for the future. This work is in its early stages and we hope to develop it, in partnership with Open Arts, to become a multi-disciplinary vehicle for supporting people into rewarding interaction with the world.

 

Social Value

Providing vital mid-way steps towards increased social interaction and greater confidence for mental health service users.
