The international Culture and Health Platform, of which the Austrian organization Arts for Health is also a member, will be offering various free online activities in September (and more in the future). Here is an overview.
Artists’ Roundtables – Online exchange among like-minded people
Join one of the online “Artists’ Roundtables,” where artists working at the intersection of culture, health, care, education, and social services can exchange ideas. These roundtables are free for everyone and each one is dedicated to a specific art form. At least two artists will be invited to present their work. Afterwards, we will provide time for an exchange in breakout rooms, where you can share your experiences and exchange ideas with each other.
