| Annotation | The purpose of this paper was to discuss integrated working between the arts and those in care settings. This was a conceptual discussion drawing upon insights from relevant literature and a case study analysis of an integration project between a hospice service, an art gallery and an artist. The project, known as Life:Still, highlighted some points about a lack of conceptual frameworks to help locate the purpose of diverse arts and care projects. There is scope for much confusion about the nature and purpose of such integration projects without a clear framework for articulating the aims of individual integration endeavours and their place in relation to other arts and care work. This paper develops a framework and a clear understanding about the different kinds and goals of integrated working between arts and care settings to help with future practical and research projects. In particular the case study highlights key themes from which generalisation to other services will require interpretation for particular contexts. The ideas present a helpful approach to articulating the goals of individual projects and understanding the place of projects in relation to other arts and care initiatives. There is much scope for better integrated working between arts and care settings to achieve better outcomes for users of care services, and the ideas presented here should help to better organise and evaluate such developments. This is the first paper to set out the framework presented to help with better integrated working between arts and care settings. (JL). |
