The 2024 Out of Sight Out of Mind poster is now Visible!

It marks a special time in the run up to the exhibition. You are welcome to share it, post it or print it.

Since 2013 all of the OOSOOM posters have been designed by Michael Dawson in close collaboration with the Planning Group. The process began with discussions around this years’ Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival theme ‘In/Visible’.

Discussions explored the feeling of being visible in unwelcome ways, because of perceptions around having a mental health issue, as well as their feeling of being invisible or the burden of invisible challenges they face.

They also chatted about how the exhibition itself grew from feelings of invisibility and how it has grown and become a space to bring visibility to all those who have experiences of mental health issues.
