22 August 2024 Aberdeen
Healing Arts Scotland came to Aberdeen, where Aberdeen University, NHS Grampian, and a range of arts organisations based across the city led a day of performances, workshops, and events.
Healing Arts Scotland traveled up North, where the World Health Organisation’s Arts and Health Lead, Christopher Bailey, shared his thoughts, and local cultural partners came together with individuals from the health sector, the community, and the University of Aberdeen to lead a day of practical and creative workshops and discussions. Seeking to address the impact that the arts could have on Scotland’s health concerns, community-based and cultural projects led by organisations across Aberdeen were showcased, highlighting the ways in which this work was contributing to strengthening the relationship between arts and health.
