Konstfrämjandet Skåne

Art and Health is one of Art promotion Scania's long-term projects, which has been ongoing since 2004 with support from Region Skåne. The project strives to give new impressions and give rise to conversations and discussion through art. The idea is to provide inspiration for more cultural experiences outside the project, create opportunities for meaningful activities and shared experiences for staff and care participants from elderly care. Art experiences give people more ways to communicate. In Art and Health, artists work with their art, in the way that suits all participants best, in order to carry out as good projects with their process to be characterized by flexibility both for the art, but also for the participants.

Art on Tour in Healthcare works as an art education programme, bringing art to people in their everyday lives. Sensory experiences are fundamental to the health and more and more research results show that culture is good for people to feel good. Beneficiaries of the healthcare services who cannot seek out culture themselves need help with this. In 2009 it was started the Art package on tour in elderly care. Art packages in elderly care programme are boxes containing art by various artists from Örebro county who go on tour around the municipality's elderly homes. In this way, the art becomes available even for those who have difficulty getting to art galleries, galleries and museums.
