Artistic patients display works

WORK by artists, poets, musicians and photographers who suffer from neurological conditions is being showcased in a new exhibition in Liverpool city centre.

Neurosupport, in conjunction with Liverpool Front of House and Face of the City, launched its exhibition on December 9.

The organisation provides non-medical support and advice to neurological patients, who may suffer from conditions such as epilepsy Huntington’s disease or Alzheimer’s.

A Neurosupport spokeswoman said: “Neurosupport could not offer the service it does without the hard work and skill of its volunteers – and among them are a few budding Picassos, David Baileys and poet laureates.

“Neurosupport is working with Face of the City to put on this exhibition. There are wonderful paintings, photographs, poetry and some music too.

“It’s well worth a visit if you’re of a cultural and artistic inclination.”
