Arts Lab matches young people’s groups with local professional artists. With the young people’s interests as a starting point, projects are delivered that prioritise:

– Using the Five Ways to Wellbeing as tools to improve mental health and resilience

– An opportunity for co-designing between the artist and young people

– Having some connection or visibility in the young people’s local community

– Addressing needs of the young people in the group

We are grateful to Public Health Cornwall for their funding and support from 2022 to 2025.
