Arts, Health And Disability
A core area of our Arts Development work in partnership with Adult Social Care and Wellbeing is developing arts projects and opportunities for disabled people, older people, and people with mental health needs.
Disability Arts, Arts and Disability
Disability Arts is art made by disabled people which reflects the experience of being disabled.
The Disability Arts movement regards the experience of disability, not as an impediment, but as an appropriate and fruitful subject for artistic work.
Arts and Disability work provides disabled people with the opportunity to develop an appreciation of and an involvement in the arts.
Flourish
Flourish is a new Arts and Health programme launching in 2008, funded by Arts Council England that consists of seven creative projects including singing, creative writing and dance.
Local people with specific mental health needs and older people from across Poole will be involved in these exciting new opportunities.
