Arts On Prescription
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 CIC is a not for profit organisation providing 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.
Residents of Hastings and the surrounding areas are given priority for our funded courses held online and in a GP Based Art Room.
Inclusive community activities are designed to respond to needs and are delivered from our new venue Art in the Park.
