This year’s Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival takes place across Scotland from 10 – 27 October 2024, exploring the theme of ‘In/Visible’.

There are over 220 events taking place across Scotland from 10-27 October, from Orkney to Dumfries, and Lewis to Edinburgh!

Events are inspired by the theme ‘In/Visible’, creatively exploring what it means to be ‘visible’ or ‘invisible’ when we think about our mental health. Which aspects of our mental health do we keep hidden and which do we share? Who is made to feel unseen and unheard? And how do we challenge the inequalities and systems of power that render people ‘invisible’?

Events have been curated by the festival team, local communities, artists and activists. Join us this October to explore our diverse multi-art form programme.
