Background Methods Results Conclusion There is an increased interest in the role artists can play in care for older people. This momentum comes with the need to closer investigate the nature of boundary work of creative professionals in arts and health projects.We conducted a responsive evaluation to provide a thick description of the boundary work involved in ENCOUNTER#9, an intergenerational arts project taking place within an older person care setting.Boundary work proved to be rewarding, yet messy and unruly. Although the lead artist had carefully planned and prepared the project and gained a broad commitment, not everything went according to plan. This led to friction and all involved put effort into adjusting goals and expectations.We add to the conceptualisation of boundary work in arts and health by showing that it takes place on different levels: personal, relational, organisational and public.
