The 2022 Fresh Art@ Exhibition `Out of the Dark' showcases new artwork to enliven the walls of clinical settings. The title reflects the sense of coming out of the darkness and emerging from the shadows into the light. A theme which was particularly meaningful after the experiences of the last two years. Everyone involved in this project believes that creativity can make a significant difference to people’s lives by inspiring and supporting them to have fun, be creative, learn new transferable skills, improve health and wellbeing and connect with communities.

Working with Creativity Works artists, support workers and volunteers, the Fresh Art@ project has enabled participants to realise their creative potential, increase independence and create routes to volunteering, education and employment. Projects like Fresh Art@ respond to prevention initiatives and create long-term savings in social care and health services whilst supporting people through periods of transition in their lives.
