NeuroArt Exhibition: The Brain and Mental Health
For Mental Health Awareness Week, we hosted a NeuroArt Exhibition in order to raise money for SANE, a leading UK mental health charity.
We asked members and the public to submit artwork under the theme of ‘The Brain and Mental Health’ for auction and for the chance to win up to £200 prize money. With proceeds from the auctioned artwork as well as donations, we raised over £2000 for SANE!
The artwork was judged by Professor Michael Worton (former Vice-Provost of UCL), Professor Sandra Kemp (curator and Senior Research Fellow at the Victoria & Albert Museum) and Marjorie Wallace (writer and chief executive of SANE Mental Health charity). Together, they decided on the winner: Emily Tull for her artwork entitled ‘I Am Here’. Second and third prizes went to Ismay Rymaszewska for ‘The Solitude of Mental Illness’ and to Rachel Daniel for ‘As If A Magic Lantern’ respectively.
