Art Doctors
The Art Doctors playfully break down barriers to participation in art and culture, and explore the positive role of creativity in all our lives.
We gather near art galleries and museums, at events, in workplaces and online, wearing our paint splattered coats and stethoscopes, and with prescription pads at the ready. We may prescribe art to look at or everyday creative activities, we make films, we write, and we work with all sorts of different people, from social prescribers and healthcare professionals to radio presenters, students, artists, people just hanging out on the street, and YOU!
We love thinking about art and creativity as a starting point for conversations and we firmly believe that every response is valid and important, whether you see yourself as an expert or not. We don’t teach, we explore. We believe in the power of FUN.
The Art Doctors were founded in 2015 by Leeds-based artists Alison McIntyre, Liz Stirling and Tom Bailey. We are now a collective of around 12 artists
