Activity guides
Creative activities can relieve stress and lower anxiety. They are also a great way to gain the skills and confidence to make the most of a meaningful connection with art. Here, we provide downloadable art activity guides, so you can take part in our creative workshops at home or in your care space – even when we can’t be there. If you would like to work directly with Paintings in Hospitals, get in touch.
