Arts on Prescription: Wellness, Reflection, Restoration

January 21, 2025, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Listed In: Talks and Screenings

Less an Artside Chat and more an intimate, salon-style gathering, Arts on Prescription is a closed session designed for medical students, residents, and physicians to explore themes of wellness, reflection, and restoration through creative, reflective engagement. Hosted by Plains Art Museum and coordinated by Dr. Kasey Johnson from UND’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Arts on Prescription features guided prompts, small-group reflections, and contemplative activities inspired by the therapeutic potential of art. Grounded in “social prescribing,” this salon highlights how creative practices can foster emotional resilience and community connection. Paired with light refreshments and Anne Labovitz’s transformative exhibition, Convergence: Health & Creativity – New Work by Anne Labovitz, Arts on Prescription offers a restorative space for meaningful dialogue and renewal.

If you are a physician, resident, or a medical student, please reach out from your institutional email to kasey.johnson.1@und.edu or kmonroe@plainsart.org for a reservation.
