Budding artists brighten up library with exhibition

Essex Cares Ltd. (ECL) showcased the talents of adults with learning disabilities this month (February) by exhibiting their wide range of original paintings at Colchester Library.

Customers at Redwood Creative Design were provided with this opportunity to gain work experience - producing and their artwork as well as engaging with members of the public at the library.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase the work of some of our customers. It's great to be able to recognise our customers' talents and help them gain work experience. It's truly special to see how much they love doing it.
Keir Lynch, Chief Executive, ECL

Members of the public enjoyed a hot drink whilst they browsed the paintings, offered by ECL's Book Rest Café. All money raised from the sale of the artwork has been invested back into the enterprise to help support the needs of adults with learning disabilities in Colchester.
