Welcome to the Useful Arts Blog

Useful Arts is an organisation run for and by Service Users; people who attend the drug and alcohol treatment services and the mental health treatment services in the city. Working together with artists, students, and other professionals, art exhibitions and events are organised.

Useful Arts support the premise that taking part in art activities provides therapeutic benefits for Service Users; it aids their recovery process, provides a sense of accomplishment and promotes self confidence.

Useful Arts provides support and encourages participation in arts and cultural events for both Service Users and non Service Users, opening up new channels for communication and promoting integration.
