Feelings, But Make It Art A Creative Mental Health Gathering

Feelings, But Make It Art – A Creative Mental Health Gathering is a one-night event during
Queensland Mental Health Week that brings together artists, arts workers, and community
members to explore mental health through creativity, conversation, and connection. Held at
the WOTSO, the event responds to growing concerns around burnout,
isolation, and emotional fatigue in the creative sector. Through a mix of panel discussions,lived-experience storytelling, interactive creative stations, and performances, the event
will create a welcoming and inclusive space for participants to reflect, share, and recharge.
The target audience includes creatives, cultural workers, and anyone interested in the
intersection of mental wellbeing and the arts. Designed to be both uplifting and honest,
the event aims to reduce stigma, build peer support, and celebrate the power of creative
expression in supporting mental health.
