Call for Nominations for Community-Based Healing Artists

In 2014, the Arts & Healing Network will offer 1-4 AHN Awards to artists who are doing community-based art & healing work. Each recipient of an AHN Award will receive a one-time monetary gift of $5000, as well as being featured on our web site at www.artheals.org.

With this award, we are honoring artists who have used their creativity as a catalyst for healing in a community setting. The nominated artist’s work should interact or dialogue with a specific community (i.e. group of people), as a means to generate healing and/or positive change. We are interested in all forms of art and healing including environmental art, activist art, art that builds community, art in healthcare settings, etc. All creative media qualify – visual art, dance, music, writing, installation work, etc. This is an international award. We are especially interested in artists whose work is innovative and deeply inspiring. Nominees must have a web site that clearly explains their art and healing work.

If you have any questions, please email ahn@artheals.org. To learn more about the AHN Award Program and view examples of past awardees, please click here.
