What if art could truly be for everyone – including those who need extra care? During this inspiration day, we will explore the power of art in healthcare and the care for artists.
In the morning, we will be touched by artistic practices in care contexts. In the afternoon, we will look at how we can better support artists – with and without disabilities. Let yourself be inspired by practical stories, fresh insights, and concrete tools. Together, we will build a sector where art reaches everyone – both inside and outside the walls.
Welcome to this inspiration day full of encounters, inclusion, and new perspectives.
