10.01.2022 Upcoming exhibition // Two Trees Talking. Two Trees Talking is a unique community art exhibition raising awareness around mental health and well-being. It is a professionally-curated, contemporary art show telling the stories of more than 30 local artists. The exhibition is the brainchild of Terry Cooper, an artist with 5 decades experience in making art.... A professional surfboard maker, Terry stopped creating art during a decade of debilitating pain and depression. He returned to art as his weapon of choice against the destructive thoughts brought about by physical and emotional pain, and slowly battled his way back to himself, his family and the world Terry thought that if art could have such a profoundly positive effect on his mental health and his ability to function in the world, there surely must be others with a similar experience. And so the Two Trees Talking art exhibition was born Terry’s vision is to create a platform for artistic expression of pain, provide a safe experience of healing and growth for all who exhibit, and start a broader conversation about how art can be used as a weapon against mental distress and illness, and a medicine to keep people healthy. We are proud to feature a diverse range of emerging and established local artists, many of whom are exhibiting for the first time. All art is for sale. Please join us for the Opening Night celebrations on Friday 2 October and come support our artists as they speak about their work on Saturday 3rd October. Details are as follows: Opening Night: Friday 2 October, 6pm - late Come and help us celebrate the brave and brazen artists who have poured their hearts into this exhibition. A COVID safe event. BYO nibblies and drinks. Artists' Presentations: Saturday 3 October, 1pm - 4pm A powerful afternoon of talking, listening. and connecting. Come hear the artists speak about their work - their process, their inspiration, the impact art has on their lives. A COVID safe event. BYO nibblies and drinks. NB. We are holding workshops and a special event for World Mental Health Day on 10th October.
