06.01.2022 That’s a wrap for 2020! Thank you to everyone who contributed to this year’s festival for National Mental Health Month. Thank you to every sponsor and partner that helped make every special event a reality. And thank you to you, our community. We’ve had a magnificent time seeing everyone engaging with us online and attending all our events. The Mad Hatter Festival Farewell was a smashing success and despite the formal festival coming to an end, we still have some important ...events around the corner so stay tuned! Keep raising awareness around mental health but most importantly keep having conversation about it. The best way to do that? Remember the 5C’s. Looking forward to seeing you at an even bigger and better festival in 2021! Best wishes - Art of the Minds

06.01.2022 Become a part of our #5CStarFish campaign from now until the end of October by downloading and colouring in your very own Biscuit the Sea Star! The team here at Art of the Minds is getting involved too! Our Marketing Director Judith has turned the colour-in for our 5C’s ‘Celebrating Creative Community Conversations and Connections’ into a regular art and crafts time with her son. They’ve already got their stars up in their window ready for Star Fish spotters. Or... give mindful colouring a try! By focusing on emotions and the meditative activity of colouring we can reduce anxiety and stress and even improve focus. Take good care and be kind to your mind. Remember to post your drawings and tag us with #5CStarFish and #artoftheminds3228
