The inaugural Big Anxiety Festival has officially opened, with a VIP event at UNSW Paddington on September 20.

The festival – the first of its kind for mental health – brings together artists, scientists and communities to question and re-imagine the state of mental health in the 21st century.

The festival kicked off on September 20 with an official launch, which was attended by numerous VIPS including (L to R) Western Sydney Local Health District board chair Richard Alcock, WSLHD mental health executive director Beth Kotze and UNSW president and vice chancellor Ian Jacobs.

The festival will run until 11 November 2017, with a major hub in Parramatta from 12 – 21 October, 2017.

All events at The Big Anxiety Festival Parramatta hub are free.
