Unique Dyslexic Press Release



 
Unique Dyslexic Get Creative is living up to its name by holding an exhibition at the Rothes Halls Glenrothes in Fife on the 29th October 2014.

 
This event is the first of its kind to be held in Scotland, and is quite unique in that it is exhibiting work produced by dyslexics at five free creative focussed workshops run throughout the Fife area over the last 6 months. Participants at these workshops came from all over Fife, and beyond, to take part. The workshops involved working creatively with glass, music, visual art and up-cycling furniture.

 
The exhibition will also include creative works from creative dyslexics from around the world uploaded onto Unique Dyslexic’s website at:

The Unique Dyslexic Get Creative Celebration of Creativity is being opened by Jim Leishman, Lord Provost of Fife, and hosted by Steve McCue, CEO of Dyslexia Pathways CIC. Unique Dyslexic Get Creative is organised and run by Dyslexia Pathways CIC and funded by: The Big Lottery, Foundation Scotland, Fife Cultural Trust, Fife Creative Learning Network and Dyslexia Pathways CIC.

 
There will be sessions from dyslexic performers including Anita Govan dyslexic poet and a keynote speech from Dr Ross Cooper, organiser of the Festival of Dyslexic Culture.  Some of the workshop participants will be there on the day to give a flavour of what attending the workshop meant for them.  There will also be the opportunity to meet the partners who supported the projects along the way who will have information tables at the exhibition so you can find out about them as well.

 
The event will run from 12 noon until 2pm for invited guests and from 2 pm to 6pm to members of the public. We would welcome anyone who wishes to come along and find out more about Unique Dyslexic Get Creative and the project partners.
