Art of Resilience

Manchester Art Gallery and Manchester Population Health have teamed up with artist Sam Owen Hull to share expertise and develop a new model of activity that uses creativity and compassion to support the long-term well-being of Manchester’s children. Art of Resilience is a six-week programme of workshops for small groups of pupils, where creatives share their practice and processes to help build resilience and well-being.
The Art of Resilience aims to build resilience through creative practice and values the creative process over creative output. We believe creativity is inherent and universal and Art is a protective factor in supporting good mental health. Resilience is a skill to be developed and creativity can train the brain for real-life problem solving.
