Description
Summary:Art and Design in the Workplace examines the transformative potential of art and design in generating “cultural welfare” by extending creative practices beyond traditional heritage sites, museums, and galleries into “non-canonical” spaces. These include collective workplaces, corporate offices, professional environments, transit hubs like metro stations, and care venues like hospitals. The overarching aim is to enhance the quality of life by creating more comfortable and aesthetically enriching environments and products. This thematic exploration delves into the intrinsic relationship between art, design, health, and healing, informed by action-research cases aligned with the European Commission’s “New Agenda for Culture 2030”. This policy initiative positions the intersection of well-being, culture, and health as a core pillar of European cultural policy.
