Portugal Prints

We support artists living with mental health difficulties to construct a life beyond the services, a life of creativity and curiosity. We believe that art can empower people to express themselves, to learn, to build resilience and to nurture meaningful relationships.

Our friendly and supportive team come from a range of backgrounds in art and mental health. In collaboration with our artists, we run art workshops at the Portugal Prints studio as well as offering gallery visits, one-to-one support and development opportunities. We endeavour to provide holistic support that is practical, emotional and creative.

In its 42nd year, Portugal Prints has a history of bridging mental health support and artistic development. Every artist is assigned a keyworker with whom they can develop a plan to manage their personal and artistic development. At the heart of the therapeutic process are the relationships people develop with their keyworker, their peers and the creative facilitators. It is within these relationships that we grow as people and as artists.
