The
Arts Advocacy Project
The
Arts Advocacy Project, part of Dundee
Reps celebrated Community Company, has been running since
1997. The ground-breaking Project provides art based advocacy activities
for local people with experience of mental health difficulties. It
works in partnership with local organisations such
as Little Wing, Luna, NHS Tayside, Social Work Departments and Mental
Health Associations.
The Arts Advocacy Project offers participants opportunities for self-expression
and empowerment through quality creative work in a range of art forms.
The project has supported the creation of many innovative works including
a number of books, a show at Dundee Rep, a mosaic sculpture and recently
a week long residency at Liff Hospital, which culminated in the public
viewing artworks in a ward setting.
