- Cultural Studies
Background
- Creative wellbeing is an emerging interdisciplinary field.
- Existing research primarily focuses on arts interventions for illness, with limited attention to the broader social value for the general population.
- Public investment in culture is linked to social, cultural, and economic capital for wellbeing, health, and social mobility.
Purpose Of The Study
- To conduct a rapid review and evidence synthesis on the social value of place-based arts and culture interventions.
- To assess impacts at individual (wellbeing) and community (social inequalities) levels within the UK and Europe.
Main Methods
- Systematic search of five databases and search engines, supplemented by a call for evidence (August 2022).
- Inclusion criteria applied to 974 sources, resulting in 14 studies.
- Thematic organization (Community, Events, Museums) and outcome analysis using Office for National Statistics wellbeing indicators.
Main Results
- Creative wellbeing initiatives demonstrate positive effects on individual wellbeing outcomes.
- These interventions show potential in alleviating social determinants of health.
- Evidence for addressing underlying causes of structural social inequalities is less conclusive and warrants caution.
Conclusions
- Place-based arts and culture interventions offer significant benefits for individual wellbeing.
- They can play a role in mitigating social determinants of health.
- Further research is needed to fully understand and address their complex relationship with structural social inequalities.
