MOTION aims to increase understanding of the health benefits of arts activities that build social connection and increases physical activity. The mental health and wellbeing impacts of the arts have received much praise and attention over a number of years but arts interventions can also contribute to, and indeed stimulate, increased physical activity.

Grants of up to $75,000 are being made available to support initiatives by arts and cultural organisations, and their partners, for projects taking place over a period of up to 18 months commencing 1 April 2011.
