PERTH-BASED re.create, a community organisation offering art and writing skills tuition to adults with special needs, is staging an art exhibition at the Stanley Mills heritage attraction.

The exhibition of artworks by re.create members is being held in the Community Room at Stanley Mills.

It previews this evening from 7- 9pm, with a reception featuring live music.

After that, it will run daily from 10am-3.30pm until Christmas Eve.

Established in the spring of 2007, re.create was set up, and is run by, Sheila Buchanan, a local artist who works with adults with special needs.

Earlier this year, she contributed to Stanley Mills community events programme by presenting a family workshop on weaving at Stanley Mills.

Sheila said: “They’ve all worked extremely hard to produce their personal contributions to the exhibition and this is a great achievement for them.”

re.create, which initially received support and accommodation from PUSH, a centre for special needs adults which is based in Perth’s Tay Street, meets every Friday afternoon, from 1.30-3.30pm, at the Community Hall in the Salvation Army premises at 77 South Street, Perth.

Art and writing classes and workshops are led by Sheila and Lorna Cameron, a local artist/photographer.
