SMHAF 2025 Artist Commissions: Comfort & Disturb
The Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival (SMHAF) is seeking proposals for four small artist commissions in response to our theme of ‘Comfort & Disturb’.
The fee for each one is £1,000 inclusive of materials and the application deadline is Friday 9 May 2025.
SMHAF’s artist commissions are open to artists based anywhere in Scotland and working in any discipline, including music, film, visual art, performance, as long as the work addresses mental health and responds in a creative way to this year’s theme of ‘Comfort & Disturb’.
The artist commissions were originally designed to generate new work that could be presented online at www.mhfestival.com, but SMHAF are also open to proposals that can be shared as part of a multi-arts event during the festival.
