Opportunity
Arts and health practitioners are invited to submit case studies of high quality arts and health projects to artsandhealth.ie. The case studies section of artsandhealth.ie showcases examples of arts and health projects in Ireland. This section provides a bank of well documented projects, of artistic merit, which are delivered by professional artists across a diversity of art forms and contexts. Background structures and partnerships are included to give an overview of the provision for arts and health practice. Please see https://www.artsandhealth.ie/case-studies/ for examples of case studies.
artsandhealth.ie aims to promote arts and health as a specific field of work characterised by clear artistic vision, goals and outcomes that seeks to enhance individual and community health and wellbeing. It is a diverse and dynamic practice that moves fluidly between the more traditional formats of exhibition, performance, public art commission, and other environmental enhancement initiatives within healthcare settings, through to participative and collaborative arts practices that challenge and expand ideas about who makes art and where and how it is shown.
Aims
The case studies section aims:
- To establish a record of arts and health practice in Ireland that illustrates the diversity and scope of good practice
- To provide a resource that supports peer learning among practitioners.
Selection process
Arts and health practitioners are invited to submit case studies of high quality arts and health projects to artsandhealth.ie. Submitted case studies will be peer reviewed by a sub-committee of the artsandhealth.ie Editorial Panel.
The criteria for inclusion in the case study section are:

- Projects that have taken place since 2005
Those wishing to submit a case study must complete a case study template and return it to info@artsandhealth.ie. The template is used to enable the collection of information in a systematic way. This is to support artsandhealth.ie to showcase and promote the work in a way that is most useful. The content submitted will form the basis of the case study which may be edited by artsandhealth.ie. A minimum of five and maximum of six images with photo credits and captions must be submitted along with the template. The template includes a consent form for images and guidelines for submitting these images. Please click here to download/ view a case study template.
There are two deadline dates for submissions each year. The next deadline date is Monday 17th September 2012 at 2pm. You will receive notification about your submission in mid October.
