Art activities for health and social care

We provide world-class art to transform your care space. But we know that patients and staff get the greatest benefits when they’re empowered with the skills and confidence to make a meaningful connection with the art on display.

We offer bespoke workshops and activities, tailored to the needs of service users and care staff, to make the most of this deeper engagement. Some recent examples include:

• Selection activities

  For everyone at your site to learn about the available artworks and democratically select what works for them. We can provide these both in person, through a facilitated workshop, or online.

  • Read a case study of a recent art selection activity

• Creative workshops

  For a smaller group to learn about certain art techniques used in our artworks and have some fun trying them out for themselves.

  • Read a case study of a recent creative workshop

Sticks and Stories workshop at St Michael's Hospice. A creative activity based on Jill Rocks The Story Stick.

• Activity packs 

  For patients, service users and staff. Our activity packs offer conversation topics, creative challenges and materials to get started.

• Art walks

  Once artworks are installed, for patients and carers to get active, learn a little about their new art, and have a bit of fun!

Every art loan comes with one selection activity included. We would love to provide more with an additional contribution.
