Arts for Health Cornwall holds regular Networking events in various locations accross Cornwall to bring together Artists, Health Care professionals and those interested in the work that we do.

For example, in November 2008, a networking day was held at The Plan-It Earth Centre, Sancreed,  with the theme of 'Creating a Healthy Future', exploring the relationships between Art, Health and the Environment. A variety of events took place, including a programme of talks by Lindley Owen on Health and the Environment , Justin Olusunde on 'Practical Changes' and artist Janet McEwan about 'Landfill Art'.  You can download their presentations by clicking on the orange text. There is also a document containing 10 top tips to save energy today, which is available to download by clicking here .

 An inspirational day was shared by all who attended, with the majority of events taking place in a Geodesic dome, then moving outside and to a nearby yurt for the afternoon's activities which included an Art and Nature session, making natural installation pieces out of found objects with Rachel Smart-Knight, and Dragon Quest, a role-playing event exploring myth and fairytale through action and adventure, led by David Smart-Knight.  

We have held a number of networking events previously, including an 'Arts and Mental Health' networking event which  took place at the Zed Shed in Jubilee Wharf, Pe nryn on 10th July 2008.  The day included workshops in movement, clay sculpture and poetry composition. Attendees were asked to work in small groups for part of the day and address various issues relating to Mental Health - including stigma, ideas for World Mental  Health Day (10th October) and service gaps in Cornwall.
