Towngate Theatre hosts the West Liberty University undergraduate Creative Arts Therapy 2021 exhibition.

The exhibition includes studio arts as well as work created from art therapy directives. Art Therapy is a mental health profession that uses art media and the creative process to explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem.

The exhibition is on display through February 28. The Gallery at Towngate is open 11am-1pm Monday through Friday and during all events.
