Arts On Prescription

01 / 05

We are a group of wellbeing practitioners, therapists, artists, makers, creatives, performers and musicians from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences, with a common goal.  We passionately believe in the arts as a healing balm for good health and wellbeing. We believe in a philosophy of Art for All.

Too often art and creativity are perceived as something  for people who are somehow born ‘talented’ or ‘gifted’; however we feel that art is something anyone is capable of, at any stage in their life, and that art has the ability to heal, unify, transmute and edify individuals and communities.

 

Arts on Prescription provides creative activities, reminiscence and confidence building workshops designed to enhance mental health, wellbeing and promote social engagement.

We are an innovative community resource linking art groups with health services to enable and promote wellbeing through creative arts-based workshops and inter-generational projects.

so glad i discovered the group, braving unknown tech to join a zoom meeting.

Didn't know anyone but all very welcoming, no expectation of drawing ability and loads of encouragement and support.

 

Something to look forward to in lockdown. keeping me positive, sane and learning new things. Special thanks to Tara for taking it virtual and being a star x
