Led by Galway City Council, in partnership with Galway County Council, Saolta Arts, and Croí, the heart and stroke charity, this Creative Health & Wellbeing in the Community project helps patients in their journey through cardiac care through participating in arts activity.

Through a series of art workshops across Galway City and County, including University Hospital Galway, Merlin Park, and Portiuncula University Hospital, as well as rural locations in County Galway, the project seeks to widen arts engagement in healthcare. It aims to build capacity through training and upskilling artists to work in healthcare settings, and building a sustainable model of arts in healthcare that can be extended beyond Galway to the wider West-North West Health Region and beyond.
