This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and to mark the occasion, our friends at Southside Souk have invited us to their Saturday 16 May event and will donate all the door proceeds to Project Ability.
Established in the summer of 2014, Southside Souk is an afternoon festival of world music, performance, food and crafts from the eclectic communities around Glasgow. “Come on down and support our local artists, makers, cooks and creators! The bookery team will also be there with an array of secondhand adults and childrens books and we have storytelling for the wee ones throughout the day. Plus of course some fab music and performances in the beautiful outdoor barn. Come spend the afternoon with us, bring your friends, family and a blanket….and enjoy the sunshine and festivities…”
Project Ability will have a stall with artwork and shop items, so make sure you come see us!
This is a great opportunity for us to raise awareness on the importance of art in vulnerable communities. The money raised at the Souk will help us maintain our high standards and provide people with disabilities and mental ill-health aged 5 to 80 plus with the opportunity to work with professional artists and access professional quality art materials.
Many thanks to Claire Bell and Melissa Grossman for choosing us as this month’s charity!
