Should the arts in healthcare incorporate biophilia? With the arts quite starved of funding generally, incorporating visual arts into healthcare and other environments is a challenge. We speak with Victoria Hume, Director of the Culture, Health and Wellbeing Alliance to find out how the Alliance is helping broker arts into healthcare and beyond through a network of regional “champions”, building on grassroots arts programmes and building bridges to network positive creative solutions to those who need it. Her own background as a musician and arts worker is fascinating in itself, as is her work on delirium which includes composing music that addresses delirium.
