Event details
World Mental Health Day event
With over 900 art pieces, across different time periods and different mediums, the University of York's collection is truly extensive.
This 'long looking' session run by the University's art curator, Dr Helena Cox, will be an opportunity to explore an artwork in detail, a chance to learn about its history and place within the collection all whilst creating a peaceful atmosphere to practice mindfulness.
We'll also have the chance to hear from Scott Cairney the incoming Director of the Institute of Mental Health Research at York.
