The Other Side Gallery

contributes to the growing movement of Contemporary Outsider Art. Many of the Gallery's artists have led extraordinary lives and the work you will find here is infused with their remarkable stories. We celebrate the sheer power and uniqueness of artists' work and the way it challenges negative public misperceptions and stereotypes.

Our aim is simple: to facilitate social change by creating opportunities for access and inclusion in the arts.

The Gallery is managed by representatives of its core artists: people who have experienced disadvantage in one way or other. Our artists include people who use mental health services, people with physical disabilities, learning difficulties, homeless people, refugees, substance mis-users, offenders and ex-offenders.
