FREE Art Classes at the Arizona Fine Art EXPO – American Healing Arts Foundation

In recent years there has been increased interest in the relationship between art and healing in the medical world.

There has been a similar focus within the arts community. Often based on their personal experience with illness, painters, dancers, sculptors, writers, and arts educators have also realized the power of the creative process to heal body and mind.

Unfortunately, most patients are often left on their own to develop these coping skills. Since health is a fundamental personal and social asset, it is essential that outreach and support programs devoted to healing, or the restoration and maintenance of good health, be more fully integrated into the fabric of the community.

The Foundation for Art and Healing (FAH) will bridge the gap to synthesize the medical and humanistic perspective of the healing process and transport it into community settings.
