Promoting health and wellbeing through art workshops

The Ynys Môn Mind and Gwynedd Museum and Art Gallery in Health and Wellbeing Worshops is a partnership program between Ynys Môn Mind, Gwynedd and Anglesey Council and the Arts Council for Wales.

A series of 2D and 3D art workshops will be held in the Gwynedd Museum and Art Gallery for the residents of Gwynedd and Môn to promote health and wellbeing.

The workshops will be split into two series, 2D and 3D, sessions will be held monthly and will carry on until September 2011. The 2D art workshops will be held by Manuela Niemetscheck whilst the 3D workshops will be in the hands of Mari Elain Gwent.

Gwawr Roberts, Gwynedd Council’s Community Art Development Officer said:

“Many people are aware by now that art and creativity are great activities in terms of promoting and improve health and wellbeing.”

“These art workshops in Gwynedd Museum and Art Gallery, Bangor will give people the opportunity to explore, express and enjoy. No previous experience is needed and with 2D and 3D workshops, there’s something for everyone.”
