South Gloucestershire LINk Art Exhibition
The LINk recently ran an engagement workshop for People with Learning Difficulties at which there was an art workshop.
The art workshop enabled the people who participated to express their views on Health and Adult Social Care through art.
An exhibition of some of the art from this workshop is being exhibited in the Libraries around South Gloucestershire over the next few months
The exhibition is currently at Staple Hill Library until the end of August when it will move to Winterbourne Library

The art workshop was suported by Thornbury Artist Shirley Sharp who helped the group work expressively with paint and different tools to create their own artworks
