Think Different

Join us once again for this vibrant annual exhibition of art works including animation, photography and creative writing by people currently being supported by the homelessness charities in Bath.
Each year the variety and quality of the exhibits surprises, delights and challenges us to consider the reality of each individual’s circumstances, potential, and above all, our own perceptions of the homeless and vulnerable among us.
This year, once the exhibition ends at the Abbey, it will be shown at a second venue at Stall Street as part of Bath Fringe Festival, the city’s only visual arts festival.
