Map It Well is a project created by a creative group, facilitated by artist Luke Beech, Crescent Arts Curator, Martha Cattell, Scarborough Museums Trust Special Projects Curator, Dorcas Taylor and NHS staff. The aim was to work collectively to create a resource rooted in creativity that can aid in improving wellbeing, and offer different ways to interact with a variety of spaces and that may aid in de-escalating stress.

 

The group met regularly over tea, coffee and biscuits, to share ideas, chat and make work that inspired our map. It was very much a collective project with everyones thoughts, drawings and words feeding into the final design.

 

This website is a space where you can access the map that was created, download it and have a go. See examples of work that was inspired by it, along with some prompts for you to try yourself, and information about an exhibition at Scarborough Art Gallery which is running alongside the launch of the map.

 

There are no rules on how or where you should use the map, it is up to you, and we would love to see examples of you using it or responding to the examples of work. You can send these or any questions you may have to Martha on the email: info@crescentarts.co.uk or follow us on instagram: @mapitwell
