London Arts and Health supports artists, creative practitioners and health professionals across the whole of London and beyond. We seek to ensure that our members reflect London’s diversity and provide resources and support for those most in need of them. We promote excellence and engagement in the field of arts, health and wellbeing, and extend the reach of the arts to communities and individuals. Many people are excluded from mainstream arts opportunities, yet it is often these people whose health and wellbeing could be most enhanced through such engagement.
