PABLOS ART STUDIO

WHAT IS PABLOS ...

We are a community organisation providing a supportive and professional art studio and gallery environment for people, who have experienced mental illness, to engage in the production of artwork

Pablos Art Studio is a creative and focused environment, providing free access to materials, tuition and professional development. It is facilitated by tutors who are professionally qualified, practicing artists, with a wide range of art related experience.

At Pablos we –

*empower individuals to grow in confidence and self-esteem through the process of art making

*encourage individual development through mentoring, role modelling, inspiring, teaching and creative challenges

*promote the use of creativity as a tool to support and maintain mental health

*build partnerships with other art focused organizations and individuals to enrich the studio environment and strengthen ties with the broader art community

WHO ATTENDS ...

The artists come with a wide range of artistic experience. All of them are committed to challenging themselves creatively. Most artists are referred through Community Mental Health Teams or other medical practitioners and we also take self-referrals.

Access to the studio, the art materials and tutor support are provided free. Artists at Pablos generally work independently towards their own creative goal plans, and balance their independent work by participating in organised workshops as a group.

“There are few advantages

in suffering a mental illness

but one of them is definitely being an artist at Pablos.”
