Friday Nugget: Arts and Health Opportunities
I share info about Réalta, Ireland's body in charge of arts and health projects.
I know you’re all devastated that I didn’t produce a newsletter this week. All I can say is that the week ran away on me. Anyway, I’ve decided to bring you useful resources every Friday that I hope will help you with your own artistic endeavours.
One of the reasons my week ran away on me is that I attended Réalta’s (pronounced rail-ta) arts and health check in day in Dublin.
Photo Description: This is a poster containing informationa bout the check in day, which happened on Wednesday 25 October in Dublin. You can see rows of people wearing name badges, clapping enthusiastically.
Réalta is the body that manages all the arts projects happening in Ireland’s healthcare settings. I was delighted to be accepted onto one of Réalta’s panels, at Waterford Healing Arts. I’ll be facilitating arts and health projects for the mental health services, if opportunities arise.
If you’re looking for opportunities in the arts and health sector, you’ll find them on Réalta’s artsandhealth.ie website. You’ll also find lots of valuable resources and information that will help you run arts and health projects of your own.
