Get Involved in North Ayrshire

The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival in North Ayrshire runs each year in October and November but our team work all year planning and designing creative projects and encouraging community involvement and participation.

In North Ayrshire we believe the promotion of creative arts is essential in supporting mental health and wellbeing and provides us with opportunities to engage with people within our communities that may not have done so using traditional methods.

Incorporating the creative arts into our everyday practice provides the opportunity for individuals to explore mental health themes that can be difficult to approach and express themselves, experience peer support and importantly challenge stigma and discrimination.

Our festival is open to everyone in our community, and we hope you enjoy finding more about what we do here regularly. Our team are here to provide any help and support for individuals, groups or organisations planning to be part of our yearly community programme. Please just get in touch.
