An exhibition designed to bring artists out of their shell was attended by a Dorset MP.
West Dorset MP Chris Loder hailed the breadth of artistic talent in the area following the launch of the Dorset Community Mental Health Artists exhibition at Shire Hall Museum in Dorchester.
The exhibition showcases the artwork created by members of the Dorset Community Mental Health group.
The event was organised to bring the artists ‘out of their shell’ and encourage them to publicly exhibit their work to build their confidence.
Mr Loder said: “This is a very meaningful initiative to help creative people who may otherwise lack the confidence to show off their talents and great skills. Special thanks to Jonai Da Silva for organising the event.”
The event was also attended by the High Sherriff of Dorset and the Mayor of Dorchester.
