Research
Arts on Prescription is a program developed specifically for older people, delivered by professional artists and designed to promote health and wellbeing.
We developed the program in 2014, and ongoing evaluation has shown that engaging with the arts as a creator can empower people in a way that complements rehabilitation and wellness goals.
Whether through visual art, music, artistic movement, photography – all art forms provide people with tools to express emotion, experience or thought in a way that they may not have had access to before.
To ensure that more people can benefit from Arts on Prescription, we’ve developed these sector resources to help you establish and run your own programs.
