I wonder how many you got to go and see and perhaps take part in as well and maybe learn a new skill and meet some new friends. There were so many different events that you could take part in or even just go along and look at. Like, for example, the artistic display in the Belfry Shopping Centre in Redhill.

This is fantastic, isn't it? I was here about an hour ago and it was silent apart from these pictures on the walls which looked fantastic but now so many people, there must be 100 people here looking, not just walking past but stopping to read and appreciate all the different kind of artworks that's on display here.

Well, let's take a look at some of them. There's one over here which has obviously been inspired by Andy Warhol. There's another one over here which, as you say, has got different layers and different textures and so on. Some parts of the collage actually coming out of the frame as well. different fabrics and so on a little bit further up. They're really intriguing and very, very creative.

And there's lots of labels underneath them as well, which obviously explain who the artist is and perhaps their thought behind it as well. This one caught my eye over here because I think this kind of sums it up, the few words here. Lorna says, I called it Amazing Star because I am amazing.

And that really kind of jumped out at me when I read that because that's really the whole point of this kind of art, isn't it?

do to help these people with disabilities to express themselves through art? I mean, perhaps we've all heard of art therapy, but what does that actually mean?

It was great to see the exhibition and also great to see so many people there, as you could probably tell from the hubbub during the course of that recording. It was really very busy. And unfortunately, if you want to see the art itself, well, that display's been taken down, which is a bit of a shame.
