The Ontario Museum of History & Art’s (OMHA) exhibit, The Art of Healing: Holistic Expressions, will now close on Sunday, Nov. 17, giving the community four more weeks to visit the exhibition. The museum is also hosting free educational events related to the theme of healing through art.
The Art of Healing explores the concept of art promoting healing in those who are ill, their families, and in the artists themselves. Locally, this was exemplified in the mid-1950s when San Antonio Community Hospital assembled an art collection to display on hospital walls and in patient rooms. OMHA’s exhibition, Holistic Expressions, showcases the transformative power art can have on the healing process through the work of five artists living in Southern California.
Upcoming events include
