Arts on Prescription: Wellness, Reflection, Restoration

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

Arts on Prescription is designed for medical students, residents, physicians, and other healthcare professionals to explore themes of wellness, reflection, and restoration through creative engagement. Hosted by Plains Art Museum and coordinated by Dr. Kasey Johnson from UND’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences, this session features guided prompts, small-group reflections, and contemplative activities inspired by the therapeutic potential of art. Grounded in “social prescribing,” the event highlights how creative practices can foster emotional resilience and community connection. Paired with light refreshments and Anne Labovitz’s transformative exhibition Convergence: Health & Creativity, this gathering offers a restorative space for meaningful dialogue and renewal. Although tailored for medical professionals, this event is open to anyone interested; free with registration.

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.
