ON NOW
Annabel Nowlan
PETRICHOR - The
Smell of Rain
Following from a recent solo show at the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, Nowlan and FUNDAMENTAL Gallery Director Marie McCord have together curated a selection of 24 works that take us across half of Australia- navigating timelines and cross-cultural narratives - eventually to the familiar ‘smell of rain’.
Exhibition runs from Nov 5 - Dec 6 2021
We are open and COVID-Safe.
We are pleased to welcome you back to Mental as restrictions ease in NSW. Please be mindful during this time to observe our COVID-Safe Policy, including checking in using the QR code and postponing your visit if you are feeling unwell.
In our first year, we brought more than 35 projects to life, and helped many more real lives connect with art.
The arts have a unique power to bring people together, share stories, increase wellbeing and grow as a community.
Learn
and Grow
We hire space, run exhibitions and work as mentors and consultants.
Mental is a platform for the community to connect, supported by a variety of innovative programs and events.
Our mission is to provide as much access to the arts and its benefits as possible - to make anything achievable by providing space and support for all kinds of arts-related things: visual art, music, digital content, performance, writing and design.
Through our resources and network, we can provide mentoring and project consultancy to any stage of the creative process and work with all levels of experience, age and ability.
The shop features products made by us and the artists we work with.
Support what we do
Increasing access to the arts is a key goal. Support us to deliver that.
Our Mission
Mental is on a mission. It was started by a mission to help one person with a disability work in their local community through art. We have seen our mission grow into a regional launchpad for emerging artists and a hub for community connection. Your support ensures we can continue to grow!
We also host enjoyable meetings, and design fun events.
