ART EXHIBITION IN AID OF MIND IN SOMERSET
AT THE BLACK SWAN ROUND TOWER, FROME
Local Frome artist Stina Falle is selling her creative estate – paintings, prints, drawings and other artefacts – to raise money for the charity Mind in Somerset.
The exhibition will take place at Black Swan Arts Round Tower in Frome opening on Friday January 25th at 6pm until Saturday 2nd February. Opening hours will be Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm.
This sale will help to fund essential counselling services for young people at risk of suicide and self-harm. As a survivor herself she would also like this revelation of her life’s work to encourage others to share their stories and pictures with her while she is in residence.
Above all, she wants to show how the creative imagination can overcome many of life’s difficulties and that we are not alone in our distress.
