Howling Dog Toi Ora Live Art Group Exhibition

Artstation’s latest exhibition, Howling Dog, takes place from Wednesday 28 October to Thursday 5 November. The exhibition aims to promote Toi Ora Live Arts Trust and the inspirational artworks of its members.

The trust runs an extensive programme of art classes for people with experience of mental ill health, and provides the opportunity for members to explore and develop their creative ideas in a supportive environment.

There will be over 50 artworks in the exhibition, representing a year’s worth of work at Toi Ora. The pieces have been created from a variety of art disciplines including mosaics, printmaking, drawing and painting.
Toi Ora’s arts coordinator, Bernadette Brewer, hopes that the exhibition will help to dispel public misconceptions about mental health.

“Other successful outcomes are measured through the changes in confidence experienced by Toi Ora members, and how they begin to see themselves as part of a wider community, as artists, and having a means to communicate to the public,“ she says.
