ARMOUR was a series of monthly meetings addressing the arts and mental health. A necessary discourse for current times, with multiple theories, articles and memes flying around the universe – but no one point of offline community discussion! ARMOUR is this space.

Bringing together artists, guest speakers, industry professionals, and community practitioners, ARMOUR seeks to start bridging the divide between arts practice, and sustainable methods for supporting mental health in our industry.
