Experience 2023: An Introduction to Arts, Health and the Older Person was a learning programme aimed at professional arts practitioners with an interest in working with older people in a health context.

The programme took place at Réalta/Waterford Healing Arts Centre for Arts + Health in December 2023. Writer, actor and activist Noelle Brown was commissioned to participate, observe and write a reflection on the day.

Noelle reflects on some of the presentations and themes raised that spoke to her personally, and the learnings that she as an artist took from the day.

Experience 2023 was presented by Réalta and Age & Opportunity, and was funded by the Arts Council and the HSE.
