Arts & Minds are partnering with CuratorSpace to host their Annual Online Exhibition for 2021. The exhibition is open to all Arts & Minds members. The deadline to apply is 20th September 2021.

Arts & Minds brings together people in Leeds who believe creativity can promote mental well being. We support creative people who have had mental health issues, but we also encourage everyone to be more creative, whether they are using mental health services or not.

This opportunity is open to anyone living, working or volunteering in the Leeds area who wants to see the growth of arts and health – including service users, carers, mental health workers, artists, arts organisations and mental health organisations.

Arts & Minds is funded by Leeds & York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and works with a wide range of partners. We work in NHS services and in the community to develop projects with partnerships at their heart. 

This year, the Arts & Minds annual exhibition will once again be hosted online on the Arts & Minds website. All submissions by Arts & Minds members will be accepted, subject to the terms and conditions, and submissions can be of work in any medium or size.
