Art at Congress
The RCPsych is excited to highlight the powerful connection between art and mental health as part of our 2025 International Congress, with a focus on integrating art into our Cultural Fringe programme.
We have two unique opportunities for you to get involved and engage with this creative exploration. Read on below to learn more about how you can take part!
Send us your artwork for digital display at Congress
We will be displaying a digital carousel of artworks during the breaktimes between Congress sessions. If you would like to submit images of your artworks for the digital display, please do so via this form.
We welcome submissions from artists, members of the College and allied health professionals.
The deadline to submit is Wednesday 30 April.
Due to the volume of submissions we receive we may not be able to respond to everyone.
If you have any questions please contact congress@rcpsych.ac.uk
Roving Artists
Across each of the four days, we will be asking a different member to document Congress in their own way. This could be through sketches, painting, collaging, poetry, prose, however you wish to capture the atmosphere at Congress.
The Roving Artists will have creative freedom to respond in an artistic way to any element of Congress, whether it be the atmosphere, a response to discussions, thoughts generated by talks, or chats with fellow delegates.
This is the first year we are exploring having Roving Artists, and the artistic outputs will be preserved in the College archives as we build up a series of artistic reflections of Congress over the years.
The deadline to apply to be a roving artist has now passed. If you have expressed your interest in this role we will be in touch shortly.
