Welcome to Arts for Health Cornwall.

We exist to promote the role of Creativity in improving health and wellbeing.

Creative activity has been proven to have tangible effects on physical health, increase self-esteem, provide a sense of purpose, develop social skills, help community integration and improve quality of life.  Creative application of the arts can also dramatically improve the environments within which health and social care are delivered, bringing wide ranging benefits to those using them.

We promote the role of every aspect of the arts including music, dance, design, crafts, visual arts, theatre, writing, singing and many other art forms. We also take a broad view of health and seek to promote physical, mental and emotional health and well-being
