Let's put on an exhibition!?

Hello there everyone, I have an idea and I wanted to run it past you to see if it is worth running with it…

Before I had my TBI I used to draw and paint. I used it afterwards to help me feel better about myself and help me recover (lhodonovan.com). In my dealings on here I’ve noticed other folk doing similar, being creative in whatever way. My idea was to look into maybe having an exhibition for us, either in a gallery or a virtual exhibition online.

I’ve been looking around and asking around about this. Headway thinks it’s a great idea and have asked me to keep them up to date about it. Other artists I know have suggested various platforms to build the exhibition. I’ve also tried to contact a few well-known people who’ve suffered from TBI (James Cracknell, Jason Padgett) to see what they think – we could even ask whether they’d be involved with it themselves!

So, the reason why I’m writing on here is to ask if you’d be interested in taking part in this let me know on here. We would of course need to have enough interest to put a show together, otherwise I’d have to lay the idea to rest. I’d love not to do that though. There are loads of TBI survivors out there who have things to say and just don’t have the belief to have a go! So what do you reckon then?
