In the last year alone, we served more than 60,000 people - nearly 300 hours of therapeutic services monthly at nearly 100 local healthcare facilities and other agencies - a 100% increase in the past two years, with 40% provided at no cost to the clients! Through registered art therapists, professional artists and volunteers working with groups of 20-30, we reach clients of all ages, using the healing touches of music, drama, creative movement, fine art, dance, and storyweaving for communication, emotional release, physical relaxation, and increased self-esteem. Since our inception, we have served more than 325,000 patients in a variety of healthcare settings, providing the healing touch of A.R.T.S. therapy. Founded in 1985, A.R.T.S. for People involves a collaboration of artists, therapists, and the healthcare community guided by the firm and proven belief that people are physically and mentally healthier when they interact with others in a positive way and are able to express themselves freely.
