What does it mean to integrate creative arts wellness into an art museum? In Fall 2024, I am launching A.M.W.I. to begin both public program initiatives alongside artists working in self-care and wellness, as well as professional development for staff of museums to incorporate creative arts therapy to support staff and erase stigma and bias around mental health and emotional wellness. My experience and expertise provides for me the ability to utilize art therapy technique and modalities to increase engagement and offer a safe emotional space to create and explore using both fine art and everyday materials.
