About this Event
From 11-31 October 2024 Gold Coast Health will celebrate the creativity of mental health consumers with ArtBeat.
The annual art exhibition and festival showcases the artisitc and musical talents of mental health consumers and provides a platform for creativity, self expression and awareness.
Aligned with Queensland Mental Health Week, the event aims to de-stigmatise mental health by giving consumers a platform to express their experiences in their own way, offering a joyful space for the community to come together to celebrate their strengths and have important conversations about mental health.
Mental health consumers commence work months in advance, putting their heart and soul into their creations. Consumers are supported by the Mental Health and Specialty Services Creative Artisan and Music Therapist, who provide guidance and help consumers to prepare their creative contributions for display or performance.
Channelling their self-expression into something that can be shared publicly each year encourages many of our consumers to remain focused on recovery and builds meaning and purpose into their lives.
