Join in for Emerge, a community art exhibition showcasing local artists in celebration of mental health month.
Creating art is known to support people's mental health and wellbeing, through the act of exploring themselves and how they interact with the world through their art making.
The Ballarat Mental Health Collective has been running an exhibition for the past 30 years to celebrate Mental Health Month. This year Chi-uh Neylon, Grim Brain and Faith O'Malley from Uniting have volunteered to organise the exhibition and are inviting local artists from Central Highlands to submit artworks in any medium.
This year's exhibition has local artists Kim Percy, Meaghan Shelton and Kathy Landvogt coming on board to pick the winning artworks in the categories of painting/drawing, photography/digital art and sculpture/3D works. There will also be a peoples choice ward available for you to vote for when you visit the exhibition.
Support a local artist this year and come down and purchase a loved one a special piece of art for Christmas. All proceeds will go directly to the artist.
