Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethlem_Gallery

"The Bethlem Gallery is an art gallery in Beckenham, Bromley, England. It was established in 1997 to support and exhibit artists who are current or former patients of the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.[2] The gallery is housed in an Art Deco building shared with the Bethlem Museum of the Mind,[3] with exhibits about the history of Bethlem Royal Hospital.

The small gallery team supports and encourages artists who may feel excluded from artistic endeavour otherwise. The gallery provides facilities for collaboration, experimentation, and skills exchange."
