We are so excited about Art Pharmacy’s new statewide art-based social prescribing initiative! It is the first statewide arts prescription effort in the country, and hopefully, more states will follow. You can learn more about the partnership from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the state’s arts agency, here.
There has also been great coverage of the initiative, which we encourage you to listen to as an example of how social prescribing can be positioned in the media. Some examples are below:
