Arts Care is Northern Ireland’s leading Arts in Health organisation. We deliver a wide range of participatory and commissioned arts programmes at the heart of Health and Social Care and Community settings across Northern Ireland.

Arts Care offers the following Programmes:

·       Artists-in-Residence: deployment of highly skilled and experienced professional visual artists, musicians, dancers, clown doctors and creative writers across all 5 Health and Social Care Trusts. These services are commissioned by the Department of Health (SPPG) and the 5 HSC Trusts.

·       Arts Care Social Enterprise Programme: large and small arts projects that sit outside the commissioned programme. These services are delivered by our pool of freelance Project Artists and can be funded through grants or directly purchased from Arts Care by any organisation from the charity, public or private sectors.

Arts Care works within a wide range of services and settings including hospital services; day care services; residential care services; children and young people’s services; older people’s services; dementia services; mental health services; cancer care services; hospices; learning and disability services; looked after children and young people’s services; and increasingly within community-based services including Councils.
