Exhibition: Caring Spaces - Artworks by Carers from the Lothians

This exhibition celebrates the creativity and resilience of unpaid carers across the Lothians, showcasing a diverse range of artworks produced through Art in Healthcare’s Caring Spaces initiative.

In partnership with VOCAL (Voice of Carers across Lothian) and Carers of East Lothian, this project offers carers a supportive environment to explore various artistic techniques, including collage, painting, ceramics, sculpture, drawing and printmaking. Facilitated by Juliana Capes, a multidisciplinary artist and parent carer herself, the programme provides participants with a much-needed respite from their daily responsibilities, fostering a sense of community and personal expression. The artworks on display reflect the participants’ journeys towards self-discovery, emotional resilience, and empowerment, highlighting the therapeutic power of creativity in enhancing mental health and wellbeing.
