Arts Council of Wales are on a mission to raise the profile of Arts and Health by celebrating some of the project activity and arts interventions that are making a difference to people’s health and wellbeing across Wales. To do this, we need your help in providing us with content.

Do you have any video content that we could feature?

  • We are asking arts and health organisations and freelance individuals if you have any video content of Arts and Health activity that you are able to share with us? This could be anything from raw, un-edited footage to a final published masterpiece. We are looking for English, Welsh or bilingual video content, no matter how big or small and filmed on any device. Don’t worry if your footage needs editing – we’ve got that covered!  All you need to do is complete the Content Collector form (at the bottom of this page) for your video to be considered. In return, we will be shining the light on your brilliant projects by featuring snippets across our media channels.
  • We are also looking to create new content to support our mission. If you have a project or activity planned for the near future, we would be very interested in speaking to you about potentially recording some activity and interviewing participants. If you have a project in mind, please also complete a Content Collector form (below) and if we think it will fit with our upcoming themes, someone will be in touch to arrange an initial conversation.

What will we do with the content?

Our Comms team, with the relevant permissions, will collate a bank of footage and organise it into Arts and Health themes and activity (e.g. creative activities for improved mental health; arts on prescription etc). It will be cut up by our in-house editors and re-hashed into a series of smaller, bite-sized videos that can be used to raise the profile of Arts & Health on our social media channels and Website. We may also have opportunities to feature individual projects separately.
