A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE exhibition is showing what community art can achieve.

Warrior Women is a group of women from Hartlepool who are survivors of abuse and domestic violence.

They came together to produce work which reflects their experiences and celebrates their lives now.

Artists Bob Beagrie, Rachael Clarke, Helen Ward and Julie Ward have supported the women in their work, which was made possible by Tees Valley Arts' Involve Programme, funded by the European Regional Development fund.

The exhibition is at the Arc arts centre, Dovecot Street, Stockton. For further details call the Arc on (01642) 525199 or visit the group's website ww.warriorwomen.co.uk
