I'll be speaking at the International Social Prescribing Conference #ISPC2024 next week about my research on the emotional impact on artists of working with participants with challenging health or psychosocial conditions (tinyurl.com/JPFortierthesis)
AmazIng! Thanks for getting the word out there and for your ongoing partnership which supports our work #health #communities @Brisarts_events @NASPTweets
Enjoyed speaking at this webinar today, about arts on prescription in urban environments (using Bristol as a case study), and learning from the other interesting talks. @creativeshift1 @dcbaber @UWE_Research @PSRG_UWE
Here’s our vending machine of carefully curated activities 🤩 We hope this gives patients an enjoyable moment & some relaxation whilst possibly having a long-stay on Quantock. Fresh Arts artists have made various activity packs. Here’s a sneak peek of the one in there now!

This has been a joy to be part of. Amazing team of young people, #creative and #heritage practitioners learning together in true #coproduction
Visit our new exhibition 🎉 Young people aged 16-24 poured their creativity into clay, collage, and even lavender eye masks inspired by our museum collections. Let's celebrate the meaningful 'Connexions' we've forged! @ArtsHealthSW @creativeshift1
