The Vibrant Mind
With our project The Vibrant Mind: Embracing Mental Health Through Artistry, we want to celebrate artists living with mental health conditions all over Europe (and beyond!) throughout 2023 and 2024. This is why we decided to create a truly pan-European art exhibition with the intention of different European citizens with lived-experience of a mental condition able to display their works in a gallery within their own country.

Project Aims
The main objectives of The Vibrant Mind project are:
- Showcase the artworks of those living with mental health conditions and disseminate them through our networks, allowing people in different countries to appreciate the art.
- Increase awareness about mental health conditions in as many European countries as possible while recognising the artistic ability of those living with mental ill-health.
- Strengthen collaboration among different organisations involved in art and mental health so as to form a community where both people’s art and mental health experiences can be shared
If you know of any exhibition venues that would be willing to host our artists work for a period of time, please get in touch with communications@gamian.eu
