Wellbeing and mental health
Helping people of all ages maintain positive mental health is a key priority for RIG Arts and is achieved through regular wellbeing enhancing creative opportunities.
RIG Arts work exemplifies the value of the arts in influencing positive change in peopleβs lives supporting positive mental health and wellbeing, building confidence, resilience and in supporting recovery. Participants benefit from connecting with people with similar lived experiences and creative passion. The benefits of social interaction, peer support, self-expression and the role that the arts play in this is well evidenced.

Remembering Together Labyrinths
5 stunning Labyrinths have been created across Inverclyde at Wemyss Bay Community Centre, Gourock Park, Well Park, Greenock, Coronation Park, Port Glasgow and Birkmyre Park, Kilmacolm. RIG Arts, artist Alan Potter and Walk as One, a group of volunteers from across Inverclyde, worked together on this final phase responding to the initial creative consultation carried out in 2022- 2023.
Each Labyrinth is unique but they are connected in providing spaces for reflection and their names represent feelings, virtues and emotional aspirations in response to the pandemic:
Gourock Labyrinth of Joy
Greenock Labyrinth of Love
Port Glasgow Labyrinth of Hope
Kilmacolm Labyrinth of Peace
Wemyss Bay Labyrinth of Courage
The Remembering Together Project is funded by The Scottish Government via Greenspace Scotland.
