Why Art at Play

Art at Play is a joyful reminder that the arts support whole-person well-being. Whether it is a child painting for the first time or an adult taking a creative pause, these moments of self-expression and reflection can support mental, emotional, and even physical health.

“Art at Play is a joyful reminder that the arts are essential for whole-person well-being.”
— Mandee Mikulski, Executive Director
