Health of the Arts (360G-Wellcome-218326_Z_19_Z)
The proposed project takes up the message of arts access charity Arts Emergency to ask 'is an arts emergency a health emergency?' and also to ask the question of who gets to access the arts from an interdisciplinary perspective. Recent medical humanities research shows us that the arts have a critical role to play in health and wellbeing, both at an individual level and in terms of society as a whole. Meanwhile, government cuts mean that access to the arts —and therefore by extension interdisciplinary arts—are in danger of becoming an elite pursuit as value increases but public funding decreases. There are two key strands to this work: 1. To use the findings of interdisciplinary research on the value of the arts to public and personal health to make the case for arts access & funding. 2. To investigate access to the medical humanities. What skill sets, mentoring, funding, and opportunities do school leavers from diverse and underprivileged need to pursue interdisciplinary projects? This 6-month project aims to broaden access to the interdisciplinary arts, to establish a network of medical humanities mentors, and to design medical humanities skills training.
