BrightSparks Arts in Mental Health are delighted to launch a new programme to support people through creativity throughout the lock down.

Remote Art: BrightSparks at a Distance is available to people living in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland who are receiving mental health treatment.

The project involves professional artists working over the phone and via email with participants, supporting them to create art work, crafts, music, comedy and creative writing.
Following the lock down, we will celebrate the work created at a special event.

If you would like to take part in this project, please email office@brightsparksarts.uk or send a text message to 07585 602 238 with 'Remote Art' and your postal address.

WHO SAYS POETRY IS JUST FOR POETS?

WORD! is an 18-year-old voluntary poetry and spoken word organisation based in the East Midlands. Not only does it deliver one of the longest running poetry and spoken word nights in the UK, but it is also pioneering an ever expanding programme of other activities across Leicester and Nottinghamshire.

These include regular nights in Leicester and Beeston; one off shows; a poetry festival; annual Slam; regular workshops; ongoing and one-off projects working with specific communities and our publishing imprint, WORD! Poetry.

We are uniquely co-produced by an NHS Trust (Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust) and currently enabled due to the generous funding support of Arts Council England. Further funding support is provided by University of Leicester Wellbeing Matters (via the Edith Murphy Foundation), Attenborough Arts Centre and Inspire.

Our other partners and collaborators include BrightSparks Arts in Mental Health Group and Writing East Midlands.
