This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

Six panelists sit on chairs on a stage in front of a black curtain, each speaking into a microphone. They are engaged in a discussion, with one person gesturing as they speak. Audience members are visible in the foreground, watching the panel. The setting appears informal and conversational, suggesting a live talk or Q&A event.

Mental Health in the Arts - Free Panel and Q&A

What does it really mean to make art and stay well? Join a free, open conversation with working artists as they speak honestly about mental health, creativity, burnout, resilience and care. Moderated by the South Australian Mental Health Commissioner, this panel and Q&A explores how artists manage the pressures of creative work, why the arts matter to mental wellbeing, and how making and sharing art can be a source of connection, purpose and healing. Whether you’re an artist, arts worker, or simply curious, this is a chance to listen, reflect, and ask questions in a supportive, welcoming space.
