This research development project emerged from the 2011 workshop ‘Communities, Cultures, Health and Well- Being’. It is focused on arts and health, an emergent field that encompasses diverse art forms, genres and settings. The starting point for the study was the need to develop understanding of practice excellence in this interdisciplinary field. The project drew together a reference group to explore these issues at a one day workshop in April 2012 jointly hosted by the Project Team and London Arts in Health Forum (LAHF). As part of the project a 60 page scoping study was produced.
