24th to 28th October 2014

COME AND CELEBRATE as the Art Therapy professional peer support group is exhibiting at Substation Gallery Paddington, (Brisbane) in their exhibition "Exploration of Life; Inspired by Mexican tradition Day of the Dead".  art-Alchemy "Open Art Studio" is excited to exhibit its first collaborative art work between Nicola Harris as sculptor and Carmen Nemet as design artist ,which is included in this exhibition, along with other sculptural works by Nicola Harris who curated the exhibition, by applying the principles she teaches at art-Alchemy. The opening on Friday evening saw between 200 to 300 people adding to the  joyful,  festive fun and financially rewarding event. This is a tribute to the immense talent that binds this group of artists. The diversity of the art is testament to the diversity of the therapeutic benefits of art as therapy,  as loss is a fundamental component to life.

Our thanks go out to Jeff/Geoff director of "Hands on Art" and John and Dwight from the "Substation Cafe" for their assistance and patience to bring about a successful exhibition.

A collection of works by these 9 Art Therapists who graduated UQ Masters Mental Health- Art Therapy 2012.
