Peninsula Lighthouse is set to launch an exhibition showcasing a diverse collection of artworks, including paintings, sculptures and photography, created by former clients who are now artists.
The theme of the exhibition is Restoration, celebrating the richness of how art can heal and restore.
It will open on October 3, just a day after International Day of Non-Violence, and continue throughout the month.
October is Mental Health Month and World Mental Health Day and World Homeless Day are on October 10.
This is especially apt as the Lighthouse, based at West Gosford, provides appropriate support systems for those suffering the trauma of domestic and family violence.
It specifically provides: ongoing casework with community clients; referral to other services (accommodation, food, legal, trauma assistance, care, counselling and job-seeking); information sessions and mentoring; and opportunities to retrain and connect with others.
Opening night on Friday, October 3, will begin at 6.30pm.
It will be held Rhema CC, 16 Dyer Cres, West Gosford, with ample space for displaying artworks and accommodating visitors.
Refreshments will be provided for visitors, including food and drinks, with entry costing $25.
For more information and to book for opening night go to www.peninsulalighthouse.org
The exhibition will then be open for viewing from 9.30am-4.30pm on weekdays during the month of October.
