Free exhibition of artworks by community members and art practitioners from the Art, Mind & Soul creative mindfulness programme in Worthing.
Art From the Heart opens at Colonnade House on 15 December, running through to 20 December. It's an exhibition of work by the community members and art practitioners of Art, Mind & Soul, a National Lottery-funded creative mindfulness programme based here in Worthing. The show mixes individual pieces with large-scale collaborative works made across 48 community sessions, supported by the programme's community workers and its founder and lead practitioner, Leigh-Anna Barber-Corbett. The whole project starts from the idea that creativity improves mental health and wellbeing.
Barber-Corbett trained as an Art Practitioner at the University of Sussex and has worked as a Community Art Practitioner for more than 20 years. Her own work has been shown at the Royal Academy of Arts' Summer Exhibition, in BBC Good Homes Magazine, and as part of Mortal And Strong's Scars Of Gold campaign.
The venue is one of Worthing's most iconic landmarks. Colonnade House opened in the early 1800s as a library and post office, was partially destroyed by fire eighty years later, and remodelled in the 1930s. It was reimagined as a creative hub in 2016.
