📢 We are so pleased to announce that our next exhibition will be Daniel Regan: (be)longing

📍Showing at Bethlem Gallery 22 April – 11 July 2026
🕐 Open 9.30am – 5pm, Wednesday – Saturday
🎉 Opening Event: 23 April 5-8pm – RSVP via Eventbrite (see link in bio)

This exhibition explores @DanielReganPhotography’s long-held complex relationship to a sense of belonging. The works touch on family estrangement, cultural heritage, queerness and neurodivergent identity through mixed-media works.

The culmination of works and thinking from across the last five years, the exhibition also follows research programme commissioned by Bethlem Gallery; a series of creative workshops, panel talks and a symposium held in 2025 that allowed Daniel to explore these themes from multiple perspectives.

This is the first exhibition that is a step away from a solely photographic practice for Daniel, who will be showing drawings, ink, image and text works.

As part of his practice supporting emerging artists, Daniel is supporting two artists to develop and exhibit work on the theme of belonging. Selected via an open call, work by artists @Michael_Mendones and @NinaGrossArtist, present their micro-commissions.

With funding from @MaudsleyCharity and @acegrams.

Our latest blog 'Reflective Practice: making space for thinking together' is a summary of a talk on Reflective Practice by Gerard Drennan. We explore what Reflective Practice is, why an arts organisation might need it and what the key elements are that make it work.

Gerard Drennan is a clinical psychologist who has worked alongside Bethlem Gallery for over a decade, holding a reflective practice space for the Bethlem Gallery team. As part of our recent symposium The Art of Practice, he shared some reflections on what it means to hold a Reflective Practice space within an arts organisation in a mental health context.

✨ Creative Workshop: What Gets Left Behind
🗓️ Saturday 30th May
⏰ 2pm - 4pm
📍 @bethlemgallery
💷 £20 / £5 concessions

I’m running this upcoming workshop as part of my (be)longing exhibition at @bethlemgallery.

Concealment has become a central part of my creative practice - a way of navigating the fine line between oversharing and undersharing. Through redaction, abstraction, layering and erasure, I often play with what a viewer has access to when engaging with works that are deeply personal. What is revealed, what is withheld, and what sits in the space between.

In this workshop we’ll work through three methods of creating absence, including using a mixture of texts that connect to the themes of the show,alongside lots of tactile and colourful materials. You’ll leave with a small set of works that are entirely your own.

💷 If cost is a barrier, please do reach out to the gallery directly.
