Since 2001 VicHealth has supported medium and large arts organisations to undertake strategies to make their organisations health promoting and more accessible to those who are otherwise unlikely to attend. A total of 16 Victorian organisations have been funded under the Major Arts Partnership Scheme (2001-2004) and the Audience Access Scheme 2005-2006. This publication is a reflection on the experiences of the organisations in these schemes. It aims to capture some of the major learnings and place them in the context of VicHealth’s commitment to the promotion of mental health and wellbeing. It is hoped that other organisations may benefit from the work done and use this publication to apply to their own arts setting.
