Experience the Transformative Power of Art, Culture, and Medicine 

The Healing Arts Program merges art, science, and wellness, creating a dynamic space where individuals of all ages can engage in healing and self-discovery through creative expression. Rooted in the museum’s mission to empower healthier living, this program invites you to explore the connections between art, culture, and medicine and to experience the profound impact of art on well-being. 

Why Healing Arts?

The Healing Arts Program helps to bridge the gap between art and health, fostering mental, emotional, and physical well-being through creative exploration. By participating in these signature projects, you’re not only engaging in art but also in a journey toward personal and community wellness.
