'I could say things with colour and shape that I couldn’t say any other way, things I had no words for’ – Georgia O’Keeffe (Artist & Scholar 1887-1986)

PsychArt was founded in 2015 by a group of resident doctors, with the aim of exploring the positive role of arts in mental health for service users, students and professionals. Throughout the year, PsychArt runs events both nationally and with local NHS trusts, and our work centres around our annual conference – where talks and workshops explore the intersections between creativity, resilience and wellbeing.

If you would like to be involved in our committee or have any suggestions for events, please contact us.
