As the Scottish Government proposes an increased budget for cultural funding, the Jameel Arts & Health Lab and Scottish Ballet present the findings of the lab’s evaluation of the impacts of Healing Arts Scotland on public health and wellbeing at Holyrood.
This follows on from the success of Healing Arts Scotland, a week-long celebration of the role of the arts for improving physical, mental and social health, held in August 2024.
