REWIRE: Managing Mental Health in the Arts is an interactive workshop, grounded in research and lived industry experience.

It unpacks what is driving stress and burnout across the visual arts, the common psychosocial hazards shaping studios and institutions, and how uncertainty and identity-linked work affect your nervous system and creativity.

Grounded in current research and real-world experience, the workshop explores:

• What is actually driving stress, burnout and mental health challenges in the visual arts right now, from precarity and project funding to public scrutiny and creative identity strain.

• The psychosocial hazards common across studios, galleries, institutions and freelance practice, and who tends to carry the heaviest load.

• How chronic uncertainty, rejection, high emotional labour and identity-linked work shape your nervous system, relationships and creative capacity.

You will leave with practical, psychologically backed tips to help shape a creative life that feels sustainable, not just survivable. Because art should stretch the imagination, not snap the artist.

Delivered with support from Creative Workplaces
