Mental Health Boogie Workshop with Michelle Baharier
Thursday 10 October
11am-1pm
Bethlem Gallery
Join us to mark World Mental Health Day with a one off opportunity to paint on the hoardings on the grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital.
The painting will take place on the Bethlem hospital site on the hoardings, a 5 minute walk from the gallery. You will be invited to paint interventions and designs onto the walls.
The workshop will begin with an introduction by artist Michelle Baharier who will speak about her experience painting murals and painting outside, as well as looking at the work of Keith Haring. Haring was an artist who always celebrated ‘what makes us who we are’ and portrayed important and political messages within his art. Participants will be encouraged to paint their own design on top of or next to the existing graffiti.
Aprons will be provided but please come prepared for the weather; bring warm clothes and a waterproof.
All materials provided.
