Out of Sight Out of Mind Exhibition
The biggest mental health art exhibition in Scotland in it's 13th year will present artworks made by 400 people.
About Out of Sight Out of Mind Exhibition
The one of a kind, Out of Sight Out of Mind exhibition is back for its 13th year -and this time, it’s bigger than ever.
Out of Sight Out of Mind brings together artworks by more than 400 people who have experience of mental health issues and artworks from 19 local projects. The exhibition is organised by people who have mental health issues, supported by CAPS Independent Advocacy and joins the upcoming programme of Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival.
Some exhibitors have taken inspiration from Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival theme of ‘comfort and disturb’. Inspired by a famous Cesar A Cruz quote about art as activism; the idea that “art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”.
