Minds Do Matter 2026

Exhibition and Shows

Explore the relationship between art and wellbeing in this life-affirming exhibition.

Produced by RANT Arts and QVMAG, Minds Do Matter celebrates art's power to spark conversations and contribute to mental health and wellbeing.

This annual art exhibition promotes mental health awareness in Tasmania and supports community conversations about mental health by inviting creative responses to carefully selected themes.

In 2026, artists respond to the theme 'REFLECT: Appreciate the little things', providing a creative platform which allows participants and audiences alike to contribute to vital conversations about mental health and wellbeing, supporting the notion that mental health is about everyone.
