‘Life in a Coastal Town: A creative exploration of community and belonging’, is part of the Coastal Community & Creative Health project. Led by the Universities of Bristol and Liverpool, the event is funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Arts and Humanities Research Council.
The exhibition shares original artwork by people living in Weston-super-Mare, exploring their experiences during some of life’s toughest times. Young refugees, people in recovery from substance use, and bereaved people worked with three artists (Caitlin Buckler, Niki Groom and Bev G Star) to explore their use of local community services and resources, barriers to access and gaps in support.
Exhibition Dates: Tuesday 08 July 2025 – Thursday 17 July 2025 (FREE ENTRY)
