"We aim develop an arts practice to help us tell stories, transform environments and share new understandings of health and human experience."
Make Your Mark, the arts and health programme for Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, was launched in 2015. It was founded and led by Joanna Stevens, artist, art therapist and educator, between 2014 -19. Make Your Mark built on earlier work undertaken by arts therapists within Sussex Partnership who sought to increase awareness of the potential of the arts and build links with local cultural partners.
Make Your Mark is underpinned by a commitment to artistic excellence and high quality participatory and collaborative arts practice
Make your Mark aims to use the arts to make a difference to individuals, groups and communities. To develop an arts practice to help us tell stories, transform environments and share new understandings of health and human experience. By giving space to the imagination we seek to integrate creativity into the fabric of health care and create new possibilities for health and wellbeing.
