摘要

The last issue of the Journal of Applied Arts and Health (JAAH) focused on the much needed dialogue regarding the use of art in research. In this last issue guest edited by Professor Shaun McNiff, opportunities and challenges in art-based research were addressed from various points of view and various art modalities. If we can say that the first era of applied arts in the service of health and well-being was mainly concerned with application, then perhaps the current era is ready to take on more broadly and conscientiously a serious and focused body of Art-Based Research.
