Details

The study identified 120 case studies of organisations and numerous examples of all art forms; especially dance, drama, music, singing and the visual arts. It looks at the history of the movement and puts it in a policy context. The main benefits of this work, beyond artistic expression, are seen as improved physical and mental health and better personal and societal relationships.
