Healing Through Art: Bridging Hospitals, Nonprofits and Artists
Let's transform hospital spaces together!
In honor of National Arts in Health Month, Artwork Archive was thrilled to host a webinar exploring partnerships between hospital arts administrators, artists, and nonprofit organizations.
Together, we uncovered how collaboration can transform hospital environments into spaces of healing, comfort, and hope.
Hospitals are often stressful and overwhelming places. Yet, art has a unique ability to uplift and calm, providing emotional support to patients, staff, and visitors. As the healing power of arts and culture gains wider recognition, the need for cross-sector collaboration becomes more essential, especially in a time of constrained resources.
If partnering with hospitals feels like uncharted territory, this session will serve as a guide, offering insights from professionals who have successfully navigated the world of arts in healthcare.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how hospital arts programs collaborate with nonprofits and local artists to integrate art into clinical spaces, fostering health and wellness. Discover replicable projects, explore the challenges and rewards of these collaborations, and gain an understanding of the growing body of evidence that supports art as a therapeutic tool.
