In/Visible - Panel & Music

About In/Visible - Panel & Music

Our panel nights are always excellent, and this one will be no different!

This year's theme for the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival is 'In/Visible'

The theme will consider 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 feel able to share? How can we use the arts and creativity to make mental health more ‘visible’, in a way that engages people and challenges stigma?

Join us and our guest panelists, Davie Scott (Pearlfishers), Joy Dunlop (Broadcaster/Performer), Rachelle Rhienne (pop artist) and returning host Colin Kelly for a night of meaningful chat and select live performances from our guests.

Tickets are priced at for 'pay what you can' please select the ticket price you are comfortable with.
