The joy of Connect
Our Ecas Connect exhibition at the Out of the Blue Drill Hall in September was a HUGE success – a celebration of all that we do! We are so impressed with the creativity of those who contributed their work and the team who prepared the exhibition.
We are also delighted with the wonderful vibe of the launch event and the amazing response from visitors.
Here’s just a wee taste of it all…
The invitation to Connect
Earlier this year, we asked our Ecas service users to respond to the theme of Connect in whatever way they wanted to. We then asked the public to expect the unexpected with a vibrant and joyful showcase of creativity.
Ecas is all about connection, being together, to feel better, create, learn and have fun in good company. For the Connect exhibition, members of our weekly groups created a fantastic variety of work for the Connect exhibition.
A feast for the eyes and ears
From mixed media art and crafts to original prose and poetry, and specially devised musical soundtracks accompanying seated Tai Chi performances, there was a fantastic variety of work to share.
We recommend you turn the sound on!

For Ecas, the exhibition was a wonderful opportunity to connect with our local community and share what we do. The project has been possible thanks to the amazing support of our friends at Aegon UK.
