ArtBeat Music and Arts Festival

Gold Coast Health

ArtBeat is a music & arts festival designed to celebrate the creative strengths and talents of our mental health consumers in the Gold Coast

Gold Coast University Hospital

From 10-27 October 2023, Gold Coast Health will celebrate the creativity of mental health consumers with ‘ArtBeat’ at Gold Coast University Hospital.Now in its 10th year, the annual exhibition and festival have been a colourful springboard that’s launched mental health awareness and the artistic talents of consumers onto centre stage.Aligned with Queensland Mental Health Week, the event aim to de-stigmatise mental health by giving consumers a platform to express their experiences in their own way, offering a joyful space for the community to come together and have important conversations about mental health.Mental health consumers commence work months in advance, putting their heart and soul into their creations. Consumers are supported by the Mental Health and Specialty Services Creative Artisan and Music Therapist, who provide guidance and help consumers to prepare their creative contributions for display or performance. Channelling their self-expression into something that can be shared publicly each year encourages many of our consumers to remain focused on recovery and builds meaning and purpose into their lives.This year’s signature event, the ArtBeat Festival, will take place in the Gold Coast University Hospital Parklands on Friday October 13 from 11am-2pm. The Festival is open to the public to join in live music, food, giveaways, face painting, free mental health information and more.ARTBEAT Festival: Friday 13 October 2023, 11am-2pm.
