Art is a powerful tool to support and nurture wellbeing.

AGH Wellness programs encourage communication and connection, validate personhood and offer opportunities for shared experiences.  With an emphasis on the benefits of specialized programs to support participants who are differently-abled, neuro-diverse, or in many different life stages, these programs bring the joys of art experiences to audiences in ways that are adapted to suit their specific interests and abilities.
