Arts Prescriptions Have Come to Massachusetts


Art Heals! I’m excited to be among the first in the nation to make art prescription a reality, and am thrilled to partner with Art Pharmacy to bring arts prescriptions to Massachusetts.

This year, I wrote about the Arts on Prescription initiative in two articles for Art New England magazine.

The Healing Power of ArtArt New England, March/April 2024.

Transforming Health Through the Power of ArtArt New England, January/February 2024.

And in case you missed it, there was great coverage about the roll-out on WBUR and WCVB, linked below.

To learn more about art pharmacy follow them on Instagram and LinkedIn and visit their web site!

Also, I will be returning to the Healing Garden in September to do another Wayfinding through Cancer Workshop, and to Emerson Health on a date TBD in the fall! Keep posted for more information and additional events.
