Two Glasgow based organisations, Casablanca Arts and Ugly Duckling Exhibitions have organised group exhibitions featuring Project Ability artists.
Part of the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival’s Mind’s Eye event, Dis/integrate is an exhibition which intends to look at the continuum of wellbeing and mental health.
Curated by Clare Crines of Casablanca Arts and Paul Steer, Project Ability’s Arts Development Worker, the works in the show question the processes of integration- growth, maturity- and disintegration- the potential we all carry for periods of despair. The artists include Lea Cummings, Pum Dunbar, Daniel Donelly, Simon McAuley, Kristen Neilsen and Kirsty V Stewart, all of whom have been associated with Project Ability.
Preview: Casablanca Arts, Pentagon Centre, Washington Street, G3 8AZ. Friday 1st October, 7pm. The exhibition will run until 29 October. For more information, click here.
Over the last six months Stephanie Spindler, who runs Ugly Duckling Exhibitions, has been coming in to the Connect programme, sharing her insights into the process of exhibiting.
She was so impressed with the standard of work here that she offered to organise an exhibition at Montgomery’s involving Project Ability artists.
Preview: Friday 24th September from 6.00-8.00 pm at Montgomery’s Cafe, 9 Radnor Street and Octavia, 40 Edlington Street. The exhibition will run from 25th September to 29th November.
