THIS EXHIBITION HAS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO SEE OUR CURRENT EXHIBITIONS

A free exhibition of varied art forms to inspire and intrigue all visitors. 

This exhibition looks at self-portraiture, through visual stories, exploring how our worlds portray us through things we like. The multi-media artworks have been created by a group of individuals, who are supported by weekly sessions of Art on Referral, developed in partnership with creativeShift / Art Ease artist-facilitator Beki Lines, artist-facilitator Jill Carter and the RWA. 

The storytelling collection celebrates how art is a valuable transformative healing process with which to develop creative expression and promote wellbeing. 

This exhibition runs alongside our major exhibition, Me, Myself, I: Artists' Self Portraits (ticketed). Entrance to the Cafe, Family Activity Space and Kenny Gallery are free. This exhibition can be accessed without an exhibition ticket.
