Students’ Work In Limelight At Newport Exhibitions

University of South Wales (USW) students are showing off their talents at two shows in Newport over the next few weeks. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Between Tuesday, April 26 and Tuesday, May 10, the Basement Gallery at the Riverfront will host TWO – an exhibition by second year MA Art Psychotherapy students. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The show is a response to the learning and personal growth the students have experienced during the second year of their course, with each artist choosing their own medium to explore their creativity as an emerging art psychotherapist. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Meanwhile, from April 22 until April 29, Inside Out will be held at Barnabas House on Ruperra Street in Newport. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The show is a collaboration between first year MA Art Psychotherapy and MA Music Therapy students, which brings together their individual and collective experience of self-reflection and expression through the means of their own creativity and art practices. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Students from the MA Music Therapy course will also be performing between 6pm and 8pm on Tuesday, April 26. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
