amplifying mental health through art
The Children’s Mental Health Gallery celebrates artists with lived and living experiences of mental health challenges and recovery.
The Gallery was established in 2022, with an inaugural online exhibition.
In 2023, we are excited to host an exhibition in-person at the Royal Children’s Hospital.
With a select group of 20 artists, we have curated an exhibition to explore lived and living experiences.
This includes a Gallery Event for artists and audiences to connect.
The 2023 exhibition is also available for online viewing, and includes podcast episodes that feature interviews with each artist!
