The Steinbach Arts Council is pleased to present an opening ceremony celebration for “Recovery Through Creative Expression”. The event is scheduled for October 6, 2017, at the Hall Gallery in the Steinbach Cultural Arts Centre.

Expressions is a free community event held annually in conjunction with Mental Illness Awareness Week. Its purpose is to showcase and celebrate the individuals who use art in the journey of recovery from a mental health problem and to promote better understanding of mental illness in our region.

This is the 14th Annual Expressions and sixth year in partnership with the Steinbach Arts Council. The artists, who are from various communities in the southern half of Manitoba, express themselves through a variety of media including paint, photography, and pottery.

The Opening Ceremony is open to the public and refreshments will be served. Donations on October 6 will go to the Expressions Event Fund. The exhibit runs from October 6 to December 1, 2017.
