Well-Being Through Creative and Cultural Participation

Studies show that creative and cultural participation is the top-most contributor to wellbeing in older age. How can that be defined?

According to AgeUK, in 2017, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing published the report of its two-year Inquiry into practice and research in the arts in health and social care. This found that participating in the arts is essential to healthy ageing, mentally, emotionally, and even physically.

Also, an analysis of USoc data by other researchers found a positive relationship between engagement in cultural activities, the arts, and subjective wellbeing, not just in older people but all adults.
