Art Heals

Art Heals is an outreach program created and facilitated by Two Rivers Gallery which engages the imagination and enhances the well-being of participants through creative activities.

Created in 2002 for patients at UHNBC, it has expanded over the last 20 years to enhance the lives of people in multiple institutional and group home settings. Groups meet weekly, biweekly or twice-weekly to participate in hour-long art-making sessions.
