Explore the journey leading to exhibitions of artwork by members of a substance abuse recovery charity through this illustrated talk, and discover the impact of artistic mentoring on people recovering from substance abuse in Lincolnshire.

Each year students and staff from the University of Lincoln’s Fine Art department work with Addaction (a leading drug, alcohol and mental health charity) on a unique undergraduate module. Students mentor Addaction service users in the creation of artwork for public exhibition, and ‘Brushes with Recovery’ explores the process behind this enabling partnership and the positive impact it has had on participants.

This event is part of the ‘Moving Stories: Discovering Lives Lived Differently’ hub series organised by University of Lincoln.
