HeART & Soul – Creating Meaning Art Exhibition

Everyone is invited to our upcoming joint HeART & Soul Art Exhibition featuring Richmind WA artists alongside artists from the wider community. Together, we’re using art to spark conversations about mental health, encourage community participation, and help break down the stigma.

The details:

Atwell Gallery 586 Canning Highway, Alfred Cove

Exhibition Open Daily from 10am – 4pm from Saturday 3 January – Sunday 18 January

Official Opening Event Sunday 4 January 2 – 4pm

A portion or all of the commission from sold artworks by local artists and Richmind WA staff will be generously donated to Richmind WA and our HeART & Soul program, enabling us to provide more quality art materials and community facilitators for our consumers, and facilitating more art exhibitions.

Thank you to the City of Melville for sponsoring this exhibition.

The HeART & Soul program and exhibition first began in 2023, offering a creative outlet for participants accessing Richmind WA services and supporting them to channel energy and focus on their mental health recovery, culminating in an exhibition of their work and an open day for the community.

The program also involves a series of workshops, led by professional artists, where participants are encouraged to explore their emotions and experiences through painting, pottery, and poetry.

With over 100 participants and more than 300 artworks across our Perth and South West exhibitions each year, including residents, consumers, carers, family members, and staff, the program continues to grow.

As participants and staff share their stories and support each other on their recovery journeys, they have also been able to build relationships, foster social connections, and experience joy and artistic expression.
