artREMEDY is Path with Art’s training and consulting program that equips arts and culture organizations, health care providers, and academic institutions with evidence-based, trauma-informed arts practices. Building on over 17 years of proven experience, artREMEDY supports an emerging arts and health sector by providing practical tools for both arts and health communities to integrate the arts as a healthcare modality.
Through this program, arts and culture organizations gain the knowledge to integrate trauma-informed practices into their programming, ensuring that their spaces are safer, more inclusive, and more welcoming to all. Healthcare and social service providers receive the training to incorporate arts engagement into treatment and recovery—a practice shown to improve mental and behavioral health, reduce stress, improve health outcomes, and even lower costs. At the same time, artREMEDY helps leaders and staff embrace principles of radical hospitality, accessibility, and strengths-based engagement, creating healing environments.
This work is a salient response to today’s mental health crisis. artRemedy positions the arts not as a supplement to a stressed health care system, but as a vital health modality that reduces isolation, builds agency, and supports recovery. This approach reduces healthcare costs, shortens hospital stays, and improves treatment adherence, while simultaneously fostering social belonging and personal agency for vulnerable populations. By aligning with the growing arts prescribing movement in the U.S., artREMEDY drives system-level change, positioning Washington State as a national leader in arts + health innovation.
