Art Therapy and the Arts

On April 8th LAHF is bringing together artists and art therapists working with a range of artforms from across the country to examine the ways in which professionals using art in healthcare settings can learn from each other.

This month we have two events the first of which is this Wednesday and we’re also getting ready for our seminar on art therapy and the arts which is taking place at the Arts Council on 8th April. Details of all our events are listed below and on our website.

As well as this there’s news about parliamentary debates on arts in health, funding opportunities and national and international developments in the sector.

Welcome to the February newsletter from London Arts in Health Forum. We are pleased to announce that LAHF has received news that it will continue to be funded by Arts Council England for the next three years. This is obviously very good news as it means we can continue to build up a network of those with an interest in arts in health and continue to distribute our monthly newsletter and co-ordinate our events. And continue to remain a free service to our members.

Happy new year to all LAHF members.

Welcome to the January newsletter with details of lots of funding opportunities as well as several interesting developments in arts in health nationally. You will also find details of some of our forthcoming events including an opportunity to experience the outreach programme at Tate Modern and a debate about the role of art in oncology in February.

Please feel free to send this email on to colleagues who may be interested and remember that membership of LAHF is free - simply visit www.lahf.org.uk to sign up.

Final reminder!

Next Wednesday is LAHF’s last event of the year, an examination of the ways in which the arts are being used as a key tool in the design of new GP surgeries.

Speakers include:

Buildings and the Arts

For the conclusion of its series of events looking at community healthcare and the arts, London Arts in Health Forum is bringing together doctors, architects and artists who have been involved in the development of innovative new community practices to discuss the issues that arise when the arts are used in this way.

Bromley by Bow Tour

On November 8th, LAHF is offering members an exclusive tour of the landmark Bromley by Bow Centre.

Now recognised as a model of how to integrate an arts programme into community healthcare practice, the Bromley by Bow Centre offers a diverse range of arts based activities as well as providing workshop space for artists.

The tour will include presentations from three of the artists currently working with the Centre and promises to be an exciting opportunity to see how the arts can be used to influence healthcare provision in community settings.
