Art in Mind has a birthday
For ten years, Art in Mind has been running workshops for people who are lonely or depressed, and the results have been wonderful. Lots of people have found friendship and shared interest, and a body of work has been produced that is quite startling in its range and expressiveness. All this was celebrated at a tenth birthday party in the upstairs floor of Bilslands last week. It was a very convivial occasion with drinks on offer (and birthday cake, of course), plus a small exhibition of recent work. Felicity Walker, the tutor responsible for ten years of inspired work, spoke modestly of what has been achieved, saying it had been constantly amazing – and always ‘great fun’. May it long continue! Arran Visual Arts, headed by the hard-working Jan McGregor, has done a great job in starting Art in Mind as well as its constant range of workshops and exhibitions, and is greatly to be congratulated.
