A BOURNEMOUTH-based art therapy group has gained charitable status.
Untapped will launch as a charity with an event called Art Battle Bournemouth on Sunday, July 28 at Canvas Loft Bar in Poole Hill, Bournemouth town centre.
Providing art psychotherapy, the organisation is dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area.
Its mission is to bridge the gap between what families can afford and the services provided by the NHS, focusing on trauma, neurodiversity and the prevention of youth suicide and self-harm.
The launch event will be live-streamed, allowing audiences worldwide to engage, vote for their favourite artwork and participate in the live auction to purchase artwork to support our vital work.
A spokesperson for Untapped said: “Artist registration is now open, and we invite all artists to showcase their talents in this thrilling competition.
