Understanding opportunities within existing policy and regulations
Arts in Health often starts in practice, but the decisions around it determine whether initiatives can continue to grow. Many projects show how art can contribute to health, wellbeing, and quality of life. At the same time, long-term integration remains difficult because funding, collaboration, and responsibilities are often fragmented.
The report Kunst in zorg – wegen naar verankering explores where existing laws and regulations offer opportunities to organise Arts in Health in a more sustainable way. From municipalities and health insurers to welfare organisations and long-term care, the report shows that there is often more possible than people expect. It also highlights where collaboration between healthcare, culture, and policy still runs into challenges in practice.
