Art by Post

Art by Post is part of the Southbank Centre’s artistic programme for well-being. Created originally for those most isolated by social distancing measures and designed by artists, Art by Post delivers free poetry and visual art activities direct to people’s door. Art by Post booklets were available for any individual or organisation seeking creative resources, including care-givers, those living with dementia or long-term health conditions, as well as practitioners and professionals working in social and healthcare settings. Each booklet guided participants through a series of activities to spark their imagination, keep their mind active and help them stay connected to others. They included a Freepost envelope for artwork and booklet responses to be sent back to us, many of which will be included as part of the exhibition Art by Post: Of Home and Hope.
