"I was very pleased and grateful to have been part of it, though I wasn’t totally confident that I could exhibit for the first time. Exhibiting work in public has been a huge hurdle for me. Now this has been overcome I have been able to take a few more steps forward I am currently putting some work up in my local library."

"Without this opportunity I would never have had the courage to exhibit my work. It’s the first time. It would be great to have another opportunity." "I would never have considered my work was good enough or interesting enough."

ABOUT US Based in North London, the Other Side Gallery is a charity supporting socially excluded (‘Outsider’) artists. We collaborate with organisations providing arts activities for adults who use mental health services, people with physical disabilities, sensory impairments, learning difficulties and other groups that are disadvantaged or excluded from society (including: homeless people, refugees, substance misusers, offenders and ex-offenders). In order to promote and sell artists’ work we host and manage a virtual gallery. We also organise regular ‘physical’ exhibitions, and offer opportunities for mentoring, volunteering, networking and professional development. The Other Side Gallery is managed by member artists working alongside the trustees. WHAT IS CONTEMPORARY OUTSIDER ART?
The Gallery offers arts-based learning opportunities for artists (including: printmaking and life drawing) and a programme for artists’ professional development For the general public The Gallery’s website and exhibitions brings Contemporary Outsider Art to public attention: celebrating difference and creativity, and challenging the stigma attached to social exclusion.

"I helped to hang work and put posters up in local shop windows. I felt included and proud to be part of the show – it reinforces my belief in artists and their work."
|
My web page is excellent – looks fantastic, better than I thought it would. I would never have considered showing my work before. |
