Call for art for Out of Sight Out of Mind (OOSOOM) 2023! The OOSOOM planning group invite people who have personal lived experience of mental health issues to submit an artwork to the 11th Out of Sight Out of Mind exhibition. The exhibition will be held in October 2023 at Summerhall in Edinburgh.
Take part as an individual or as a group. Artworks can be in any media and one artwork per person can be submitted. Last year people showed paintings, sculptures, drawings, installations, films, animations, sound works, photographs, craft and more. You can also apply for a grant to help with materials costs.
You are welcome to respond to this year’s Scottish Mental Health Art Festival theme ‘Revolution’, however this is not a requirement.
