About Inside Outsider Art Exhibition

Inside Outsider Art Exhibition in Association with in2gr8mentalhealth CIC

This exhibition will be included in the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival and is funded by Thrive Arts. This year’s theme is ‘Revolution’.

The exhibition will offer a collective sharing of artworks by those who work and train ‘inside’ the mental health professions, who also experience mental health difficulties and have often felt marginalised as ‘outsiders’ within the professions. We hope that this event will encourage a change of attitude and practice internationally, synonymous with the ethos of in2gr8mentalhealth CIC. in2gr8mentalhealth CIC is a centre for valuing, supporting, and destigmatising lived experience of mental health difficulties in providers of mental health services.
