Come and visit Tagsa’s Community Hub to see a site-specific mixed media exhibition by Lewis Macdonald. The Owl and the Moon was created under the umbrella of Tagsa’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Service and represents our ethos of maximising the interconnecting of therapeutic elements inherent in the arts, natural environment and our Indigenous Gaidhlig culture which we continue to (re)validate as ways our service users can creatively find their own path to more meaningful existence. The exhibition is part of the Hebrides wildlife Festival fringe.
