Vanessa Campbell, Senior Day Care Worker, Adult Learning and Disability Services at the Western Trust explains: “The work of our talented service users focused on certain themes such as the joy of placing flowers in a vase and feelings around giving or receiving them.

"Service users worked on the theme of familiar faces and produced beautiful abstract work with bright and vibrant colours.   Members also created a colourful display of a selection of houses, which evoked feelings around home, security and spending time with family, friends and those most important to us in every-day life.

"The work is displayed is in the form of paintings, canvases and fabrics."   

Vanessa added: “We are very proud of this work and of our members who used their skills to produce this very talented display.

"The exhibition will boost their confidence and motivate us all to progress with our skills and abilities through the medium of arts and crafts. Well done to everyone involved and we look forward to warmly welcoming our artists, friends and families to launch our exhibition on 19 October 2023 and welcome the public to view the artwork from 20 October to 26 October 2023.”
