Join us on Tuesday, 12 November at Bethlem Gallery for an in-person session of the Creative Learning Hub.

The event will feature an introduction to Bethlem Gallery, an artist talk, a tour of the “Unescorted” exhibition, insights into the gallery’s partner, Bethlem Museum of the Mind’s learning programme, and a live learning session.

This will be followed by a group discussion and networking opportunity.

Hosted by Amanda Glynn, Artist Development Lead, and Sophie Leighton, Director, the event offers a unique chance to explore the intersection of art and mental health, and to connect with professionals in the field.

Due to the nature of the event, capacity is limited so we kindly ask you to confirm your attendance.
