Arts in health is the field that advances the use of artistic practices for health and well-being, to stimulate a positive approach to health. While arts in health fields have been successfully established in other countries, the Dutch field is still fragmented, and its potential has not been fully developed. This white paper is an intersectoral effort exploring the current state of arts in health in the Netherlands. The authors strongly believe that arts in health can help navigate challenges faced by our healthcare system in the coming decades, and we have formulated an agenda to establish a sustainable Dutch arts in health field. While the care demands of the Dutch population are growing, staff shortages in healthcare are also increasing, and burnout, depression, and loneliness continue to cause major health issues. These problems affect caregivers, care recipients, and society as a whole, and so transformation is necessary on multiple levels. This transformation includes how we approach treatment, prevention, and care for those who care for us. This white paper includes references to successful arts in health practices in the Netherlands, and describes how the arts can contribute to the transformation underway in our healthcare system.
