Artist Spotlights

mindshare works alongside a wide range of artists and musicians from the community – historically those living with complex mental health challenges, who’ve identified expressive arts or storytelling as an important tool in their recovery journey.

Through our new “Artist Spotlights” we hope to provide another platform for these talented creatives to showcase their work, and share what we know to be important stories.
