On World Mental Health Day, the Renfrewshire Mental Health Arts & Film Festival had a special event launching a unique art exhibition in 5 train stations between Paisley and Port Glasgow.

Gina McKie from Radio Clyde hosted the event and was supported by drumming from Buddy Beat and singing from Rockus Community choir.

Forty people, including the artists got on and off trains to view the exhibitions which are engaging commuters in issues of stigma and discrimination of mental health using the Festival theme of ‘Power’. The project is funded by a successful community grant from See Me.

The exhibition is highlighted on BBC Newsonline, link below
