The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF) is a National Festival that has been running since 2012. The festival was developed to promote positive attitudes towards mental health, mental illness, support and recovery, and to effect significant cultural change through the insights and influences of the creative arts. After the success of previous festival campaigns, Lanarkshire is delighted to announce their participation in the 19th Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival. SMHAF 2025 will take place from Monday 20 October to Sunday 9 November. It will explore the theme Comfort and Disturb.
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable”.
