The Haven Art Project was a community based arts project aimed at supporting the mental health of mental health service consumers.
Using the relatively new approach of Art Therapy, a safe and supportive environment was created so that the participants could freely express themselves, without the feeling of being Judged.
A range of mediums were explored in the sessions including: clay, paint, pastel, collage/mixed media sculpture enabling individuals to improve their emotional well being whilst encouraging social inclusion through the use of art.
This particular project ran for 16 weeks starting June 2012 and finishing September 2012 and was run by a qualified Art Therapist.
This exhibition is a culmination of these artworks.
