Artists' Health Week

Project title

Semaine Santé des Artistes

Description of initiative

Artists' Health Week is happening each October and is was created by the Prevention Artists's Health Association. The principle consists in a week of events in France or abroad in order to talk about the health problems that may be encountered by amateur or professional artists in the context of their activity. The events take place directly in cultural structures, with artists and officials, but also in health structures in order to give future professionals as much information as possible on the pathologies linked to artistic activities. Also, APSArts put artists in touch with therapists who know the pathologies linked to artistic activities.
