Exhibition extended due to popular demand

On Wednesday 16th October 2024, we opened our new exhibition “Nature and Imagination” but, following lots of interest, we are pleased to announce that the exhibition will continue for a month until Wednesday 13th November 2024.

Arts for Brain Health is one of Keighley Creative’s core programmes offers workshops to people that may benefit from a weekly group providing creative opportunities. The Wednesday group, runs drop-in sessions every week, from 10.30am till 12.30pm. It welcomes those that may be affected by loneliness or social isolation and offers a safe and welcoming space to anyone who may like to come along.

The project facilitators, Ailsa and Carine, recognised quickly that the work being produced by attendees showcased a range of skills and talents and that the artwork produced was worthy of its own exhibition so they asked attendees to shares their ideas on the themes of imagined outdoor spaces and personal maps and journeys. Many attendees of the Wednesday group submitted work illustrating what nature means to them and the “Nature and Imagination” exhibition was born.

The exhibition also features artwork made in Keighley Creative’s sessions at the Airedale Centre for Mental Health.
