Should art in hospitals and elsewhere 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

address delirium.
