Art used to aid mental health patients

A project based at Honiton's Thelma Hulbert Gallery, which uses art to help people with mental health and anxiety issues, has been shortlisted for an award.

The ‘Art & Mind' scheme enables the users to gain confidence and escape everyday worries by immersing themselves in art activities.

It's run by the gallery in partnership with MIND in East Devon and is one of four projects shortlisted in the Arts and Health South West Awards 2013 - the winners will be announced later this month.
