Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum will host a talk on art therapy and mental health care on 18 September 2026. The event focuses on the importance of creativity and will take place at various times within the gallery.
Kelvingrove is the only museum in Great Britain which has a permanent display of ‘outsider art’ - which in this case is the Art Extraordinary collection assembled by the pioneering art therapist Joyce Laing over her career spanning from the 1960s to 2000s. This short talk by Anthony Lewis, curator of Scottish history, introduces the Art Extraordinary collection, Joyce Laing and the community-curated project which produced this display highlighting the importance of mental health care, art therapy and creativity. Find out more about the Art Extraordinary collection.
