The Arts and Health Research Group

The Arts and Health Research Group studies how artistic activities—like music, dance, visual arts, and drama—can improve health and well-being. They explore how engaging with arts can reduce stress, enhance mental health, and support recovery from illness. Using research and evidence, they aim to understand the benefits of arts-based interventions and promote their integration into healthcare and community settings. Their work helps to demonstrate how creativity and health are interconnected, informing policies and programs that use the arts as a tool for promoting overall wellness.
