The international online exhibition "Kindness" King Street Studios and Art Gallery, Lancaster, UK, opened on October 9.
This contemplative exhibition brings together the work of 35 artists from many different countries and continents.
We hope it offers time for reflection on the value of sharing and understanding
Kindness: noun: the quality of being generous, helpful, and caring about other people, or an act showing this quality (Cambridge Online Dictionary)
We have and continue to find ourselves living through challenging times which keep us apart from all the normal daily activities and relationships that provide the foundation for our mental health and sense of well being.
Mark Rowland, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation, said: “Now more than ever, we need to re-discover kindness in our daily lives ...
“Kindness unlocks our shared humanity and is central for our mental health. It has the potential to bring us together with benefits for everyone, particularly at times of great stress ..."
Kindness manifests itself in and may be interpreted in many different ways: the works presented in this exhibition offer wide ranging expressions of how the concept of KINDNESS might be represented both visually and within the sentiment of the individual artists' accompanying words.
We would like to thank all the artists for their submissions and we hope that looking through the exhibition and the diverse artistic responses will offer an opportunity to reflect upon 'our shared humanity' and the simple acts of kindness that can mean so much to all of us.
