| art|effects Exhibition |
| From 23rd May to 7th June, with a bustling preview night on the 22nd May, over 300 people in the Bath and North East Somerset area came to visit nesa's innovative exhibition art|effects, as part of Fringe Arts Bath. |
| art|effects was an interactive experience; equally moving, informative and fascinating. It showed art that inspires, engages, involves and empowers. Via personal testimonies the show allowed each viewer to discover the real life experiences behind the images and objects and the processes that led to them. |
| The beautiful works on show were all created by participants of nesa's projects, including creativity|works, Creative Links and My Time My Space. Each of these participants from the Bath and North East Somerset area have a unique story to tell and relationship with the creative process of making the work. The true personal meaning of each artwork could be accessed via an audio loop featuring the voice of the maker - telling their own moving personal story of their life and how creativity has enabled them to change and move forward. |
| art|effects gave viewers an opportunity to empathise, to pause and to relate to the experiences of others and perhaps reflect on our own experiences in an increasingly challenging time of change. It also showed why now more than ever nesa's creative work with change really matters. |
| art|works is back! |
| The date has been set for the next art|works in Radstock festival. This years event will be held on Saturday 26th September 2009 from 1 - 5 pm |
