The Art of Us: SMHAF 2025
Friday 10th October - Thursday 13th November 2025
Atrium, Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Stirling Rd, Larbert FK5 4WR.
Admission: Free
As part of the Mental Health Arts Festival and in partnership with Artlink Central, this touring exhibition opened in Forth Valley Royal Hospital on Friday 10th October 2025 (World Mental Health Day).
This collection brings together voices from the Reachout With Arts in Mind communities, sharing personal stories, lived experiences, and bold creative expressions. Reachout: The Art of Us celebrates connection, resilience, and the strength found in reaching out. It is a touring exhibition, previously on display at The Tolbooth, Stirling.
Each artwork invites you to explore the beauty and complexity of what it means to belong, to be heard, and to be seen. We hope you leave feeling inspired, moved, and connected.
Thank you to Artlink Central for their collaboration in supporting this exhibition. This exhibition is presented with the support of Artlink Central, as part of the NHS Forth Valley Wellbeing Through Arts programme, which supports creativity, connection, and positive mental health across our hospitals and healthcare settings.
