Arts + Health Mixer - Networking Social

Many people working in arts + health work alone, which can feel isolating and disheartening. This Arts + Health Mixer invites artists, healthcare professionals and arts + health managers working across this field of practice to come together to share experiences, explore collaborations and build connections through conversations, short presentations and creative activities.

This event is part of the Well Festival of Arts & Wellbeing. The festival celebrates the health benefits of participation in the arts by all. Presented by Réalta (Waterford Healing ArtsI in partnership with Garter Lane Arts Centre and Waterford City and County Libraries, the Well Festival champions the links between arts and wellbeing and increases public engagement through a wide-ranging programme of innovative free events for all ages across many art forms, including music, art, dance, film, poetry, theatre and literature.

This powerful short film explores how our voices shape the way we live, connect, and are heard – or unheard – in the world, and how age, accent, class, gender, health and history form our unique vocal identities. A collaboration between Embrace Music and Darn Skippy Productions, funded through the Arts Council’s Arts Participation Project Award 2025, with support from Riverbank Arts Centre.
