Mount Alexander, VIC tests art and culture health remedies with Cultural Pharmacy Testing Project
Mount Alexander, VIC Cultural Pharmacy Testing Project
The project uses interactive experiences at two local pharmacies to prescribe artistic activities like painting and dancing. Council leaders and two artists who envisioned the program are also recruiting physicians to participate. The Cultural Pharmacy Testing Project aims for low-cost solutions to health and wellness issues while supporting local arts organizations. A successful pilot could lead to two years of funding through Victoria's The Art of Good Health initiative.
