Impact on sector development
As one of the longest-running Arts on Prescription providers in the UK, Artlift actively seeks to ensure our learning and expertise is shared. We do so through:
- Providing Artist residencies and consultancy through which to grow knowledge, expertise and confidence in delivery of Arts on Prescription in other areas (e.g. through a Public Health supported partnership in Wiltshire)
- A 13+ year relationship with the University of Gloucestershire, who regularly analyse our shared data and public papers. Click here to see some of the papers and reports on Artlift
- Contributing to national events and studies that advance thinking in the sector, e.g. the MARCH Network 2019 Arts on Prescription conference at the Royal Society of Public Health
- Working with partners and consortia to share and push forwards best practice, including:
- Gloucestershire Creative Health Consortium
- A national micro-network of Arts & Mental Health focused providers led by Arts Network
