Rendezvous with Madness, facilitated by Workman Arts, is an interdisciplinary arts festival in Toronto that focuses on mental health. It is recognized as the largest arts and mental health festival globally and aims to encourage discussions on mental health through film, live performances, and talks.
The festival, now in its 31st year, serves as a platform for Workman Arts to promote its mission and the work of artists while promoting mental health and addiction advocacy. The festival utilizes a hybrid model, allowing attendees to engage with content through both in-person and virtual presentations without overwhelming them. This approach aligns with the festival’s holistic focus on the mental well-being of its staff and audiences.
Rendezvous with Madness creates a space for people to come together, share in the power of the arts, and engage in conversations about mental health. By exploring diverse perspectives and experiences, the festival aims to promote understanding, empathy, and meaningful dialogues around mental health.
The festival runs until November 5, offering a range of programming, including film screenings, live performances, and talks.
