Arc shining a light on Stockport Arts and Health Week 2024
This month, Arc is shining a light on arts and health in Stockport Arts & Health week through opportunities for groups, creatives and mental health services to connect, share and learn.
Arc are also running and signposting to arts workshops, tasters and walks, to allow anyone to try creating to boost their wellbeing.
Stockport Arts & Health Week – October 10th – 18th
Join Arc and those involved with the events for the fourth annual #StockportArtsandHealthWeek, from October 10th–18th 2024, held at Arc at Hat Works and other venues.
Explore how being creative can help us all, whether we recognise ourselves as having poor mental health or not, and how we can work together to provide experiences of real impact for people in Stockport and wider Greater Manchester.
Arc is also proud to be launching its 2023 micro-commission project legacy exhibition ‘Making Art Happen’, showing the transformative impact of the arts on health.
