The Arts Project celebrates diversity, inclusion and mental wellbeing with its latest exhibition at the North London Foundation Trust: Intermezzo. It features work from our Gurkha veteran services and much more.

Intermezzo features 55 artworks from more than 40 artists that combines elements of our recent 2025 Loudest Whispers exhibition while looking forward to the upcoming show, Kaleidoscopic Dreams.

Mixing a wide range of media, ideas and themes, this exhibition is a collaboration between self-taught and 'outsider' artists and those who have trained professionally. It includes artists new to The Arts Project as well as those returning to exhibit with us. We are also exhibiting abandoned artwork that has been kept in storage by The Arts Project which we are hoping will find new homes.

Intermezzo highlights

Gurkha veteran services artwork
Veteran Services Counsellor Janet Gardner has donated the Growth and Reflection collection of mixed media artworks.

Proceeds from the sale of these artworks will support the Veteran Services at St Pancras.
