Arts Management Quarterly
No 137: Arts Management and Health
There are various points of contact between arts, culture and health - not only in the course of the pandemic months. This issue of the Arts Management Quarterly shows what these are and what they mean for arts management.
"Stay safe and healthy" is a phrase that has become even more important during the pandemic months. The topic of "health" as a management task to sensitise and protect visitors and employees as well as broader society has also come increasingly into focus in arts and cultural institutions. But even before that and beyond, the topic of "health" occupies its own field of activity for the arts and culture sector. For example, visits to museums prescribed by doctors are no longer uncommon. Likewise, art-based therapies have proven to be an excellent treatment for diseases such as Alzheimer's. Beyond this, however, health management must be understood as an independent area of responsibility in arts and cultural institutions. After all, in order for employees in the sector to feel good, they must first and foremost be healthy - both physically and mentally.
The authors of the 137th issue of Arts Management Quarterly put this complex topic through its paces. We hope to encourage you with this reading to draw one or the other new connection between art, culture and health yourself.
