Exhibition | Let's Figure it Out

Brought to PHM by Recovery Pathways, a Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust service, this exhibition is a vibrant and varied selection of art works embodying issues of mental health through different media such as ceramics, textiles, photography, illustration, wire sculpture, painting and drawing.

All work has been created using wellbeing themed sessions and projects by Recovery Pathways service users in a number of locations across Greater Manchester.

According to the recommendations from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing Inquiry Report, July 2017:

• The arts can help keep us well, aid our recovery and support longer lives better lived
• The arts can help meet major challenges facing health and social care: ageing, long term conditions, loneliness and mental health
• The arts can help save money in the health service and social care

‘We talked, talked and talked about our journey and what a difference our creative development has aided and helped many of us.  Big thank you NHS and our wonderful tutors.’

There will be a timetable of activities during the week the exhibition is on display, including the Exhibition Launch (Tuesday 8 October, 12.00pm – 2.00pm), Creative Taster Sessions, Information Sharing, and a Manchester Wellbeing Fund Celebration (Wednesday 9 October, 12.00pm – 2.00pm) to include all funded groups to date.

The exhibition will be opened by Neil Thwaite, Chief Executive at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, where refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.
