What is Art?

Art, often defined by the individual, includes dance and movement, music, theatrics, literature, design and visual arts. The Healing Arts Village integrates Art with the Science of Health, because Art:

• Heals by providing stimulation, linking individuals to the world and life-giving energy

• Characterizes the full range of human experiences and emotions that connect us

• Creates a reinvigorating environment that cultivates community

• Reinforces the spirit of innovation, community, and openness vital to teaching and caring for others

• Provides visual, auditory, textual, and cultural bridges honoring diversity

• Teaches and communicates expression, information, and ideas
