Keep Turning the Page Exhibition

Free to visit from 14th – 22nd October 2024
Art Journal Project And Creative Toolbox Exhibition At DGRI

For the second year, DG Creative Wellbeing are delighted to be showcasing the work of our Art Journal Project and Creative Toolbox participants in an exciting exhibition taking place at DGRI.

Over a period of sixteen weeks participants worked with a range of artists and makers via in-person and remote workshops and creative research trips – exploring a wide range of visual arts practises and processes including printmaking, clay, animation, illustration, mark-making, colour theory, zine-making and creative writing. The project’s activities are designed to enhance wellbeing via creative expression, mindful practise, positive distraction, and the development of self-management tools.

‘Keep Turning the Page’ will showcase the work of almost 30 adult Art Journallers and 15 young people from the Creative Toolbox programme, sharing their personal journey with a wide audience, amplifying their voices and underlining the important relationship between creativity and mental health.
