“When we open our hearts to one another through dialogue, music, or art, we discover that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.” — Daisaku Ikeda

Whether you’re a healthcare leader, an artist, a student, a business, or simply someone with a heart for service, there’s a place for you in this work.

Research & Best Practices

Our work is informed by evidence‑based research and best practices in arts and healthcare:

  • Studies show that arts programs can reduce patient anxiety, lower blood pressure, and even shorten hospital stayspmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

  • Creative therapies decrease stress hormones (cortisol) and improve emotional resiliencepmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

  • Group art-making not only supports individual healing but also enhances social connection, which the World Health Organization links to better health outcomes and reduced risk of mortalitywho.int.

We integrate these findings into program design, ensuring our workshops and partnerships use proven methodologies that deliver real health benefits.

Community Connections & Endorsements

Healing Art Together has fostered relationships with local community leaders, healthcare professionals and artists. They support our mission and see the transformative potential of creative expression. Quotes from our partners and workshop participants include:

  • “Art made my grief feel lighter. Sharing my story through color connected me to others who understood.”

  • “Your creative workshops are a breath of fresh air for our community center.”

We are also in conversation with local hospitals, universities and artists about future collaborations, from bedside arts programs to joint research studies.

We believe that by grounding our ambitions in clear metrics—like the number of participants served and programs delivered—we’ll stay focused and accountable as we grow.

Personal Stories & Motivation

Healing Art Together was born from profound personal loss and a deep belief in the power of creativity to transform pain into purpose. After losing her daughter Shannan, Janine found healing through painting; that journey inspired Diana and Janine to co‑found the organization to honor Shannan’s life in the most positive wayhealingarttogether.org. Their combined experience—as a long‑time nurse and a seasoned business leader—drives them to share the healing power of art with others who are hurtinghealingarttogether.org.
