Art Installations & Exhibitions
Art is an important tool for expression, learning, therapy and healing. At NRP, we use our artistic skills to interact, inspire and promote holistic well being. Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a person’s physiology and attitude; due to the body physiology changing from one of stress to one of deep relaxation, from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration. Our art installations are more than visual displays; they are the art of storytelling; because they combine different mediums, encouraging deep listening.
Cultural Art Exhibitions & Workshops
NINE RED Presents… (CIC) are keen to promote cultural diversity in the local community through art exhibitions, events and workshops. We have a social aim based around bringing the community together to discover and enjoy cultural and diverse art. Art is an important tool for expression, learning, therapy and healing. We use our artistic skills to interact, inspire and promote cultural diversity.
