This exhibition marks 10 years of Room For Art, Art in Healthcare’s social prescribing project which supports the health and wellbeing of adults across Edinburgh. It will showcase work created in their artist-led weekly workshops which offer a welcoming and safe space for connection, respite and self-expression.

Participants say:

“I appreciate the space to just ‘be’ and leave anxieties and worries behind. It is a wonderful, welcoming place”

“After a period of profound depression and burnout, the group offered a sanctuary to create without the pressure to please or perform”

“I feel like walking into that art room, it’s so peaceful and welcoming. For that period of time, my thoughts quieten down, it’s a break from what can feel like a very chaotic, noisy and busy world”

Visit the exhibition to see artwork made by participants reflecting on the last 10 years of Room For Art!

Art in Healthcare is also celebrating 35 years, making this a very special event.
