Kunst en Welzijn (Arts in Health)
Art contributes to well-being, connection, and a sense of purpose. Under the banner of Kunst en Welzijn (Arts in Health) we bring together projects and collaborations in which art and health reinforce one another, ranging from initiatives focused on mental resilience to those promoting participation and social interaction.
At CKE, we believe that art unlocks more. That it’s more than just an activity. Art provides the space to discover yourself, to meet others, and helps you put things into perspective.
Guided by this belief, we collaborate with healthcare, social welfare, and community partners on projects at the intersection of art, health, and social connection.
Under the banner Kunst en Welzijn (Arts in Health) we bring together projects and initiatives where artistic quality and social impact converge. From programs for people with autism, dementia, or mental health challenges to projects addressing loneliness, participation, and positive health. Not as therapy or care provision, but as artistic interventions where the experience, the creative process, and human connection take center stage.
Within this field, CKE aims to be a recognizable and reliable partner: locally rooted, practice-oriented, and an expert in the field of art with social impact. That is why we want to invest not only in projects, but also in knowledge sharing, collaboration, and impact measurement. On this page, we collect stories, insights, projects, and results that demonstrate how art contributes to well-being and connection, in Eindhoven and beyond.
De Kunstklas
Through this partnership between CKE and Autismepunt, we offer creative courses that are fully tailored to the needs of people with autism. In a safe environment with appropriate support and a focus on participants’ needs, we create opportunities for connection, self-confidence, and personal growth through art.

The Golden Groove
In this project with Vitalis and Summa, students and seniors are paired up to dive into a world of creativity, music, and social interaction. Together, the participants prepare for a special nightclub experience featuring live music and photo opportunities. By dancing together, sharing stories, and creating memories, a special connection is formed between generations. A wonderful example of how art contributes to well-being, enjoyment, and connection across generations.
