Following the fantastic success of their NHS Art Shows in 2008 and 2009, Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) is proud to announce that its brand new touring exhibition for 2010 'Lost and Found' is now showing at Rawlins Community College, Quorn until 27th September.  The exhibition was produced to demonstrate how art - creating it or viewing it – can be a great way to improve mental health and well-being.

Antony Sheehan, LPT Chief Executive explains, “We are thrilled that so many people are enjoying this year’s tour and seeing all the fantastic artwork on display. The exhibition has a big impact on the self-esteem and confidence of service users whose work is chosen for display.

“I’m sure that visitors to Rawlins Community College will really enjoy the exhibition and the artist’s interpretations of the Lost and Found theme. Hopefully the show will inspire people to use art and creative activities to improve their own mental health and wellbeing.”

The Lost and Found Open Art Exhibition runs from 8th – 27th September at Rawlins Community College in Quorn and then moves to the Charnwood Museum (Loughborough) in October.
