Scottish Arts Council in mental health scheme
The Scottish Arts Council is awarding £100,000 to five arts organisations in recognition of the role that arts can play in improving mental health.
The projects include a range of activities including theatre, printmaking and film, and help with a range of groups including young offenders, people with long term mental health issues and older people suffering from dementia.
Jim Tough, chief executive of the Scottish Arts Council, said: “It is now widely recognised that the arts can have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing for all of us. The Scottish Arts Council is working with a range of practitioners and health professionals to develop our work in this field.
“These five projects will support this commitment through working with specific target groups to address mental health issues in a creative way.”
The five organisations are Visible Fictions in Polmont, Art Angel in Dundee, Tricky Hat in Fife, Project Ability in Glasgow and Hearts & Minds in Stirling and Fife.
