Welcome to Digital Art School

Enjoy free creative sessions to support emotional wellbeing

Artist-led digital workshops are completely free and open to people using mental health services and the general public.

We join forces with internationally acclaimed artists to bring you art workshops remotely from their studios and homes. So grab a sketchbook, dust off your pencils, and get creative using #DigitalArtSchool. We can't wait!

Workshops are accessible through our Creative Courses page or on Youtube.

Digital Art School Gallery

In this space we’ll be sharing artworks made by the Digital Art School community during our workshops. If you’ve made any artworks from the workshops, upload images to our dropbox and they will be featured on our gallery page.

 

Fostering creativity and connection through art

The artists leading these sessions have exhibited in many of the world's best galleries and have taught in some of the country's best art schools, including Royal Academy Schools, Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. In these workshops they will introduce you to their creative practice, help guide you to create your own artworks and answer questions along the way.

These workshops are for inpatient mental health units, as well as people accessing community mental health services and the wider public.
