This special issue of Public Health gives a ‘snapshot’of the diverse field of culture, arts, health and wellbeing. Arts and Health includes arts-based health promotion; community and participatory arts programmes; therapeutic arts encompassing art therapy, drama therapy, music therapy and dancemovement therapy; arts in medical training; arts in hospitals; and arts on prescription. However, the use of the word ‘creativity’in our title is quite deliberate, as we wished to include creative approaches to health beyond the arts, which may also stimulate some of the same positive benefits as the arts, such as gardening, nature connectedness, walks, caring for wildlife or object-handling in museums. 1 The special issue includes contributions from across the spectrum of community and participatory arts, and the therapeutic arts, featuring a wide range of arts/cultural activities. It contains original research and reviews across a diversity of topics, including health, arts, humanities and the social sciences, which will appeal to an international audience of public health practitioners and researchers, those who manage and deliver public health services and systems, educators, policymakers, and those developing, delivering and researching arts, cultural, heritage and natural environment interventions, including social prescribing.The international appeal of the potential of arts for health activities is evident with submissions received from across the globe (UK, USA, Australia, India, Argentina, Nepal, Sweden and Singapore). Although no submissions were received from African countries, we know of extensive ongoing work in this region, including Arts in Medicine in Nigeria, which was featured at the recent International Culture Health and Wellbeing Conference. In line with the Creative Health Report, 2 the submissions encompassed the life-course, pre-school children to older adults, carers, health care professionals and veterans. The interventions took place in schools, hospitals, residential care homes and community venues (museums, the home and also at public events). In addition, examples of the use of public and participatory art used to raise awareness of health issues and for health-promoting activities are reported. For example, Pufahl et al., 3 reported on the uses of a community-based theatre intervention to improve attitudes towards and increase knowledge about LGBQT+ in India, and in Nepal, Morrison and Arjyal4 designed drama and games to promote active learning and stimulate conversations about diabetes in local villages and markets. A broad range of research methods were used in the different studies, including arts-based methods, for instance, in Sadh and Murthy’s short communication reporting on the use of children’s paintings and drawings to understand children’s perceptions of COVID-19 and lockdown in India.
