Bronx, NY

The Bronx project is led by the Urban Health Plan (UHP), one of the largest federally qualified health centers in New York state. UHP’s Arts Desk is one of the first intergenerational and interdisciplinary arts-led social prescribing prototypes in New York City. Through partnerships with local organizations, UHP’s patients will be able to take part in provider-prescribed, art experiences within their neighborhoods of all art genres including, visual arts, dance, music, theater, spoken word, literary, horticulture and culinary arts. The UHP Arts Desk also leads the curation of a physical gallery and performance site located within the health system’s main site, showcasing the interdisciplinary arts engagement of their patients.
