The factory. Arts & Health Association

The Arts and Health, La Manufacture association was created in 2015 following consultation work involving, alongside the Regional Department of Cultural Affairs ( DRAC ) and the Regional Health Agency ( ARS ) from Ile-de-France, actors from the health sector and the artistic world. Its creation was then aimed at a double challenge: defining a new organization aimed at promoting the development of the Culture & Health program in Ile-de-France and strengthening the involvement of actors in the field by giving them an active place. The association created a dynamic network involving people and structures from diverse backgrounds in the development of artistic and cultural actions in health settings, wishing to contribute to the promotion and development of these shared approaches, to their promotion and to the improvement of professional practices . It has occupied, since its creation and until the end of 2021, a role of operator and adviser within the framework of regional policy on Culture & Health.
