The Arts Apothecary proposes the rediscovery of the value of arts and culture as a prescription towards the healing of our troubled world. It offers some of the mounting evidence of case histories and research- based suggestions of why and how to implement the benefits by engage in the art forms we best enjoy – and trying some that are new. 

Arts Advocate Jill Rivers draws attention to the overlooked impact of arts and culture on our social wellbeing and cohesion, our physical and mental health, our education system, our national status and our economy.

She poses the question of whether we have considered the potential of the arts as a potion that offers joy, hope and possibility to people of all ages and status, young, old, impoverished, disadvantaged, recovering from illness, crime or substance abuse, depressed, lonely or distraught, across the globe.
