Magic Carpet Creative Space Exhibition
Our Magic Carpet Creative Space Exhibition welcomed 200 visitors to an exciting exhibition at the Positive Light Projects.
The event showcased an impressive collection of 138 pieces of artwork, each reflecting a diverse array of styles and techniques. The exhibition was testament to the resilience and creativity fostered within our support groups, where participants use art as a medium to express themselves and process emotions. It was also a reminder of the healing power of art and the importance of connection and community on our journeys toward mental well-being.
The opening night had a brilliant atmosphere filled with conversation about the artwork, creativity and mental health. With many of the artists present, attendees were able to discuss the stories behind their artwork with the artists themselves. It also served as a great opportunity to celebrate Magic Carpet becoming a part of Exeter Community Initiatives.
Huge thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund, Positive Light Project for hosting us and to Ikea for providing the frames. We look forward to future gatherings that continue to inspire and uplift both artists and attendees alike.
Meet One of Our Open Studio Artists
“I joined Magic Carpet about a year and a half ago and it has been a haven for me. Magic Carpet is a much needed safe space for me both literally as a place to practice and explore art, but also as a place for me to get out and socialise in a busy often overwhelming city.
By opening up, speaking out and seeking help, by sharing and persisting, I am here today exhibiting my art – something I never thought I would be doing and wouldn’t have done without everyone at Magic Carpet”
