Visitors to Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery can discover a powerful and thought-provoking collection of artwork exploring recovery, resilience and connection in Rooted in Recovery, on display until Saturday 7 November.

Visitors can see a varied collection of watercolours, mixed-media pieces, ceramics and photography, alongside audio and video work, all inspired by local woodlands and nature. Together, the works reveal individual approaches to the creative process and offer personal perspectives on healing, resilience, reconnection and hope.

The exhibition brings together work created by participants through a nature-based art psychotherapy programme delivered by an NHS Early Intervention in Psychosis Service. The programme began as a pilot project with Small Woods before developing into a woodland-based group at Haughmond Hill, delivered in partnership with Forestry England. In these natural settings, participants used creativity, reflection and therapeutic support to explore experiences connected with psychosis, trauma and recovery.

Rooted in Recovery is on display in the Community Gallery at Shrewsbury Museum & Art Gallery until Saturday 7 November 2026. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Admission is free, and donations are warmly welcomed to support the museum’s work.
