Meet our network

The Arts & Wellness Community Network provides a broad panorama of 1-to-1 and group arts education, and creative experiences to partnering organizations and individuals in the community.

Our network incorporates individual Artists, Arts Educators, Teaching Artists, Art Therapists, and Cultural Organizations drawn from all artistic disciplines (music, dance, theater, literary).

Cultural partners of The Arts & Wellness Community Network will be trained in Trauma Informed Art Practice, Social Emotional Learning Arts, relevant basic Public and/or Behavioral Health certifications — and receive ongoing professional development in Arts, Healthcare, and Wellness.
