The Story of Starry Night

We invite you to join us on Starry Night, to highlight the need for improved mental health services across Ireland

The Story of Starry Night

Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890) experienced mental health difficulties for much of his adult life and they would probably would have been diagnosed as being Bipolar in more recent years.

Despite his many challenges Van Gogh’s paintings are world renowned. He often created some of his best works when he was hospitalised. His iconic painting Starry Night expresses the night’s sky haunting beauty and is a symbol of beauty in darkness.

Like all great paintings, many have their own thoughts and interpretations on what the painting means at a personal level. We invite you to connect to the sense of hope and turmoil as inspriation for real change.
