Who we are
Waterford Healing Arts is Ireland’s leading arts and health programme, based at University Hospital Waterford (UHW). We bring arts experiences to the bedside of patients at UHW and other healthcare settings, and to people living in the community. We are part of Réalta, the national resource organisation dedicated to the development of Arts + Health in Ireland.
What we do
Waterford Healing Arts supports people in hospital and other healthcare settings, and people living in the community, to make and experience the arts – music, visual art, creative writing, storytelling. In this way, we seek to promote creativity, connection and discovery, to reduce isolation, anxiety and stress, and to remember that beauty still exists, even during a difficult time.
How to help
Our work lifts spirits, reduces isolation and brings light and hope at what can be a difficult time in a person’s life. Would you like to support patients and residents in healthcare settings to experience these benefits?
