Green Room Exhibitions – Open Arts.

about

Brush & Beyond  is a collaborative exhibition by each of the three visual art groups engaged with Open Arts. The exhibition will feature:

• Wood Art – 3D images made with found wood and geometric and laser cut wooden shapes experimenting with colour and form
• Textile Art – multi textured mixed media images created using a layering effect with different textiles, paint and embroidery on fabric 

Open Arts is an arts and disability organisation, and for over 30 years has successfully run a core programme for disabled adults, which involves drama, dance, music, writing and visual arts. In addition we produce multiple other stand-alone projects to engage more disabled people, including children & young people, in the arts.

Our activities engage people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, sensory impairments and mental ill health.
