This autumn, LAHF has organised a series of events focusing on the impact the arts can have in strengthening the health of communities.
Events in October and November will focus on the role of the arts in cultivating healthy lifestyles and in tackling health inequalities. These events will also examine the issues facing architects and designers looking to use the arts to help develop effective community healthcare facilities. Alongside these events, they hope to organise a seminar to debate some of the issues involved in promoting arts events in community settings. Look here for further details.
Bromley by Bow Tour
On Thursday 8 November, LAHF is co-ordinating a tour of the ground-breaking Bromley by Bow Centre. Over the past twenty years, the Bromley by Bow Centre has stood as a beacon of good practice in using an integrated approach to the arts in community healthcare settings. The Centre offers a huge range of arts based activities as well as providing workshop space for artists and including a diverse selection of integrated art throughout the premises.
Buildings and the Arts
On Thursday 29 November, LAHF is presenting a forum entitled "Building the arts into community healthcare provision". Speakers will include clinical teams, design consultants and architects involved in developing some of the newest community health facilities in London and the event promises to be a lively and dynamic exploration of the challenges involved in integrating the arts into new buildings.
