NSW Health Infrastructure Arts and Health Award
The NSW Health Infrastructure Arts and Health Award is aimed at supporting cultural organisations working in partnership with the health sector to deliver positive health and wellbeing outcomes for the community through arts and cultural projects.
Now in its third year, the NSW Health Infrastructure Art and Health Award is a partnership between Museums & Galleries of NSW and NSW Health Infrastructure.
The Award aims to:
- Support cultural projects and activities that provide accepted health and wellbeing outcomes to the community
- Build capacity for arts in health care across NSW Local Health Districts
- Encourage the development of partnerships between a museum, gallery or Aboriginal cultural centre and their Local Health District
- The Award also acknowledges the cultural collections across health services that celebrate the contribution of NSW Health staff to caring for our communities for more than 200 years.
The successful award will go to one proposal and receive a cash award of $10,000 (GST Excl.) to support the project.
The Award will be presented at the 2024 IMAGinE Awards and promoted online and via social media.
