Healing Arts Scotland

In August 2024, Culture Aberdeen was part of Healing Arts Scotland, the first-ever countrywide Healing Arts Week.  

The day was filled with presentations, discussions, practical sessions and networking in the heart of Aberdeen.

Held across the country from August 19th to 23rd, the initiative was led by Scottish Ballet and the Jameel Arts & Health Lab in collaboration with the World Health Organisation. 

HAS was a week-long celebration of arts and health events, highlighting the joy they brought to participants and their importance to the nation’s physical, mental and social health.

Our film, made by Duncan Nicoll, shares some of the highlights from the day.
