Arts in Health Consulting

Art engagement creates healthier communities.

• Collaborative pieces

• Trained staff members leading regular art activities

• Space and supplies provided for people to take “art breaks”

• Art kits “to-go” for patrons, employees, or community

• Art technique demonstrations with options to participate

• Adding a studio to your business or institution

• Exhibiting art created by employees, patrons, or local artists

Regular art programming can be an incredible way to make your community better— whether it’s provided for staff, patients, caregivers, community members, or volunteers.

Evidence shows that Arts in Medicine and Arts in Community Health programming relieve stress, reduce loneliness, increase socialization, serve as positive distraction, reduce stress, increase self-efficacy, help people find a sense of purpose, and increase overall well-being. In healthcare scenarios, the patient experience is enhanced through a more holistic, person-centered provision of services.

For employers in any industry, providing space and time for staff to engage in art-making regularly can improve their mindset, lower stress, and increase positive perception of their employer.

We know that throughout every stage of life— infancy through older adulthood— art helps with self-expression, bonding, brain plasticity, creative problem solving, and resilience. The process of making art, not the outcome, is what’s important.
