Arts on Prescription

The Arts on Prescription referral programme helps people aged 16 and above overcome problems like stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues through a series of weekly workshops.

The scheme uses experienced artists to help participants build confidence, learn new creative skills and broaden their horizons through a variety of creative activities including creative writing, batik cloth decorating, photography, textiles, print making, pottery and sculpting classes.

The Arts on Prescription programme offers a supported safe environment for participants, enabling them to benefit by exploring their own creative freedom whilst learning from professional artists.

Before attending these sessions participants will need to visit their doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional who will make a referral to the programme.

Arts on Prescription is delivered in Gedling by our partner organisation City Arts.

If you are interested in attending Arts on Prescription or if you are a healthcare professional or you work with people who may benefit from a referral to this programme, please contact City Arts using the details provided on the City Arts website.
