“Not the Finishing Line” – The best of Arts in Health
Lead Partner, Arts Service at Salisbury Peter Ursem Peter.ursem@ “Not the Finishing Line” – The best of Arts Possibly District Hospital. At this moment salisbury.nhs.u in Health will be a festival of creative (March 2010) this project is in its initial k activities and events at Salisbury District stage, and full planning has not yet Hospital.The theme/title summarises a key happened. However, we will hope to message of arts in health activity: when forge a number of partnerships in the people fall ill, whether this is less or more course of planning the activities in serious, it turns their life upside down, more detail, including partnerships temporarily or permanently as in the case with: of spinal patients. At that turning point - artists and artist groups to deliver creative and artistic support is of enormous creative activities and events in the value, as it can provide an opening to hospital discovering new quality and meaning of life - local schools at a time when people most need to be re- the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Injuries inspired.During the Olympic and Unit Paralympic Games in 2012 ArtCare will - the Military and/or Help for Heroes coordinate a programme of performances, - Arts & Health South West exhibitions and workshops throughout the hospital, including visual art, dance, music and poetry, for the benefit of patients and visitors in the hospital. We are looking to reinstall a medal-award for the arts (decided by public vote), as was last done in 1948. Alongside we will develop a website and communications strategy to celebrate the best of arts in health past, present and future for the benefit of a wider Wiltshire audience.
Aspiration is still there to deliver this project but no further planning has taken place. This is a flexible project that could be deliverable in a smaller scale if more substantial additional funding cannot be sought.

IE create images of themselves erecting the stone at Stonehenge, being taught how to use short hand by Sir Isaac Pitman.

White Horses

Maria@salisbu The idea is to expand on and return to the ryfestival.co.u focus of this year's Festival, the Wiltshire k White horses, ideally by working across all 13 of them in the landscape, lighting them up at night (with military and local communities) and involving local communities in creating work in relation to their particular white horse. We are also exploring the idea of creating some temporary white horses in the landscape, which could be in parts of the county where there are currently none - this could be through a series of 'flash dance' moments. We are working with Natural England already in 2010 around the Pewsey White Horse, with local school children making models of white horses which will feature at the Festival, as well as being taken up onto the chalk down to see their local white horse and a link up with the QinetiQ apprentices, who are making a white horse sculpture for us this year. This could be seen as a pilot for 2012, and we do plan to work with Natural England again in 2012, again around the Pewsey Horse. The beauty of this idea is that it is totally scaleable, depending on the funds we can find. It could be that we focus on 3 sites, getting something away for ÂŁ30k, or stretch to more. We would re-reveal the 90-mile walk which takes in the Wiltshire
This project is to go ahead alongside the Wiltshire Tor porject as part of QUEST.
