Community Mental Health Partners and the Steinbach Arts Council are pleased to present the exhibit opening of “Expressions 2013: A Decade of Recovery through Creative Expression” on October 4 at the Steinbach Cultural Arts Centre.
Expressions is a free community event held annually in conjunction with Mental Illness Awareness Week. Its purpose is to showcase and celebrate the individuals who use art in the journey of recovery from a mental health problem and to promote better understanding of mental illness in our region.
This is the 10th annual Expressions and our third year in partnership with the Steinbach Arts Council. The artists who are from the Eastman region express themselves through a variety of media including paint, photography, textiles and collage. The Steinbach Arts Council invites to the public to check out some of the award-winning work from the Out of the Blue campaign organized by Southern Health – Santé-Sud. In addition, there will be featured artists who write and perform both music and poetry.

Opening Ceremony is open to the public and refreshments will be served. A $2 toonie donation is greatly appreciated. Donations on October 4 will go to the Expressions Event Fund.
