ALH expanded the program to serve people with various chronic illnesses and disabilities. The program is provided to participants at no cost and is guided by teaching artists. Its primary goal is to maintain a legacy as a creative, healing, accessible and inclusive space, fostering a sense of community among students. Participants engage in a variety of arts-based skills, including painting and ceramics, as well as lectures from Texas artists gaining insights into the life of a working artist. Notably, Healing Arts stands as one of the few programs of its kind for adults in Houston, distinct from hospital or clinical settings.
The Healing Arts Program is currently accepting applications for new participants. The deadline for applications to participate in the 2025 year of the Healing Arts Program is September 30, 2024. The semester will begin in mid-January.
