Winston Churchill Fellow visits Caselberg Trust

Kim is the founder of Christchurch arts and mental health charity Ōtautahi Creative Spaces. She was awarded a Winston Churchill Fellowship to travel to Denmark and UK to investigate arts on prescription, but with borders closed, Kim leapt at the chance for a residency at Caselberg House. Kim is involved in national advocacy for arts and health and has served on the Arts Access Aotearoa board.
