The PAINT project is sponsored by the Northern Ireland Kidney Research Fund, and it aims to undertake an international mapping exercise to identify the current provision of arts programmes for renal patients, co-produced with a consortium made up of members of the Renal Arts Group and project partners from Chong Hua Hospital, Philippines, Center for Arts and Health, University of Florida, Realta/Waterford Healing Arts Trust and the World Health Organisation.

The project aims to increase the international partnerships supporting the Renal Arts Group with potential for future collaboration and identify policy recommendations for future development of arts in health programmes for renal patients. We plan to develop a policy brief outlining our recommendations for dissemination to leading arts and health organisations and programme a series of collaborative arts workshops with representatives from partner organisations.

As part of this project, the Renal Arts Group held a number of workshops and events led by our project partners. Find out more about each event by clicking through the links below.
