What brings me joy
The exhibition features work from 25 artists who responded to explore the theme of joy: what brings it, how it feels, and where it can be found.
What Brings Me Joy launched on Saturday 8th November 2025 and runs until 30th April 2026.
The exhibition features work from 25 artists who responded to explore the theme of joy: what brings it, how it feels, and where it can be found.
The artists have used a wide range of media including oils, watercolour, pencil, textiles, collage, and sculpture.
Their pieces are displayed throughout the museum’s galleries, integrated with the existing collection.
Visitors are invited to discover them through a self-guided treasure hunt, designed to encourage exploration and reflection.
The exhibition is inspired by the history of Glenside Hospital, where since the mid-1800s, creativity and purposeful activity have played a key role in health care.
The artists in this exhibition are displaying their personal take on areas of enjoyment in their lives, primarily focused on recreation and down time.
