The Arts Ability programme is facilitated by a team of practicing professional artists. It aims to removes the barriers to arts participation and is an exemplar model of partnership, where artists integrate with the given environment to ensure that engagement is tailored to a range of needs. The reciprocal expertise of arts professionals and health professionals informs appropriate creative approaches and projects benefit from health professionals who bring their own creative skills set.
