Artist Peer Group: November 2020
This November peer group we had really fantastic works/ideas shared by both Shahina Jaffer and David Gilbert.
Support Hub Artists Announced
We are really pleased to announce the artists that will be accessing phase one of the Support Hub project. These artists will meet once a month in a closed peer-to-peer creative mental health group, exploring their lived experience and providing crucial support to one another.
RCPsych Artists Announced
We had an overwhelming amount of applications for our workshops with the Royal College of Psychiatrists Arts Special Interest Group (ArtSIG). We were only able to pick three artists for these commissions and the successful artists are listed below. We’re looking forward to kicking off these workshops in November and continuing for the next three months.
Artist Peer Group: October 2020
This October we held our first virtual peer group for artists. Since 2015 we’ve run 56 peer groups in person at Kentish Town Health Centre. This was our first opportunity to support artists online by providing peer to peer support on active projects.
Arts Council Grant for the Support Hub
We are extremely grateful and excited to have received a new Arts Council grant to deliver the Support Hub, looking at practical support for artists.
