Insider Art are an arts and health organisation based in Exeter in the Southwest of England. Both directors, Malcolm Learmonth and Karen Huckvale are Health Professions Council registered Art Psychotherapists. We are also experienced artists, community artists, and arts educators.

We work with other practitioners to offer psychologically, emotionally and creatively informed courses and trainings to people interested in arts and health related projects. We also offer art psychotherapy, supervision, and mentoring support for artists and others.

You’ll find more information about these, and other aspects of our work, like publishing, on this site. The site also makes available a wide range of papers and information about art therapy, arts and health and arts projects. Please look around, and contact us if you think we can help.
