REWIRE: Understanding Mental Health in the Visual Arts Webinar Recording
Missed the live session? The recording of NAVA's recent REWIRE webinar is now available on our website.
On 18 March 2026, NAVA, in partnership with Support Act, presented a 90-minute workshop designed specifically for artists, curators, arts workers, producers and creative teams across the visual arts sector.
Led by Dr Ash King PhD from Support Act, the session provided practical, psychologically informed tools to help artists and arts workers build creative lives that are sustainable and not just survivable. REWIRE was delivered with support from Creative Workplaces.
As discussed in the webinar, support is available beyond this session. If it raised anything personal for you, you don’t need to hold that alone.
