Calling all men and male-identifying visitors

The gallery has a long-standing commitment to creative health programming, but fewer than a third of our participants are men. Nationally, the picture is even more striking, with only 24% of those engaging in art activities identifying as men.

We know that taking part in creative activities can boost self-confidence, wellbeing, and resilience. We’re keen to understand and address barriers that might be preventing men and male-identifying people from getting involved.
