Art for Well-being

Every year since 2013 in hospitals across Lithuania, the project called Art for well-being is organised for the health care staff and consists of silk painting workshops. Health care workers participate in a creative art programmes supervised by professional artists from Kaunas, Panevėžys and Vilnius. The creative results are presented in public exhibitions.
Health care staff face a variety of stressors at work, they experience enhanced fatigue, tension and a burden of responsibility. Participation in arts activities has a positive impact on well-being amongst health care staff, on the quality of services they provide, and on their patients’ well-being.
