About The InFinnity Project
The InFinnity Project was launched during Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2017. The project works on an annual cycle and seeks to both promote visual art as a therapy for mental illness and to raise funds for Rethink Mental Illness. This is one of the foremost mental health charities, which has a number of local volunteer art groups for people affected by mental health issues .
The inaugural launch event in 2017 can be seen here: See the video of the launch

The project also has the support of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT) and of the Adamson Collection, the largest UK collection of art produced by mental health service users, housed at the Wellcome Library.

“To contemplate the art which others have made out of their sensitivity to beauty and mystery can be a powerful bridge back to stability. All good art is like a hand held out by a stranger, showing that you are never quite alone” – Libby Purves, speaking of The InFinnity Project
