A UNIQUE art exhibition showcased artwork and poetry from domestic abuse survivors in Worcester.
Crave Arts transformed the former Oasis shop in Chapel Walk in Crowngate Shopping Centre into a 'living room.'
The once empty shop was converted into an art exhibition with artwork and poetry created by women who lived through domestic abuse on Saturday (June 9).
Not only that, but the unique art exhibition invited members of the public to sit on the many sofas dotted around and admire the artwork.
People called the art installation in Crowngate incredibly powerful and brave.
One visitor said: "A wonderful display of inner feelings and heart-felt messages through arts/crafts/the written word."
Another member of the public said: "I am so very moved by this incredibly powerful installation. Nicola and Crave Arts have created an inviting, startling interpretation of these brave women's words."

An onlooker said: "What a wonderful project - may we all have a safe home."
Steve Wilson from Crave Arts says a key aim of the project is to make visitors feel at home with the homely theme.
A spokesperson from Crave Arts said: "We had a wonderful day today with our Community Living Room open day, lots of people visited and really engaged with the exhibition.
"Many found it moving and poignant given the theme was Home and poems had been written by women who had lived through domestic abuse and people who had moved from Eastern Europe to Worcester.

"Many also found it uplifting and lots of people took part in the craft activities, making a miniature house using ink paints and mono-print and writing a poem on it too.
"We had poetry readings from our 2 poets Holly Winter-Hughes and Bohdan Piasecki and also from two of our participants.
"The Community Living Room itself was created by a wonderful visual artist, Nicola Winstanley."
