Together – Art for Wellbeing, Canterbury Cancer Society: 20 October – 1 November

posted in: Eastside Gallery, Past | 0

Opening Event: 5.30-7pm Monday 20 October. All welcome.

This group exists to serve people affected by cancer and to foster their wellbeing through the arts.

The artists attend for support with their individual art practices, for mutual peer support during their cancer journeys, as a respite from the medical focus of cancer treatment, and for the group’s warm, accepting atmosphere. Each session is a joyful coming-together of people with a cancer diagnosis who make art, and in doing so enter and explore a world outside their cancer journey in a way that is highly beneficial to wellbeing.

Location: 388 Worcester St, free parking and entry.

New Extended Opening Hours: Tue-Thu: 11am-5pm | Fri-Sat: 10am-5pm
