In 2025, Anam Beo marks 20 years of impactful creative engagement with a dynamic retrospective showcasing our evolving role in regional arts, health, and community. In this milestone year we will bring together like-minded individuals, key stakeholders, and advocates for a rich programme of exhibitions, roundtables, and discussions. At the heart of the gatherings is a thought-provoking symposium on the 17th of October at Esker Arts, designed to connect communities, creatives, and supporting organisations. Through shared experiences, critical reflections, and forward-thinking discussions, we will celebrate the transformative power of the arts in health while thinking about its future direction. The project will be an immersive showcase of twenty years of groundbreaking work, where art and health intersect to tell powerful stories of resilience, connection, and change. Through thoughtfully curated exhibitions, we are inviting participants and viewers to discover the diverse and innovative projects that have supported wellbeing and demonstrated the vital role of the arts in health. By bringing together diverse voices, we aim to foster dialogue, inspire new collaborations, and advocate for continued investment in this essential area.
