AIM Celebrates a milestone anniversary
30 Years of Healing Through the Arts

From Bird Strike to Hope:
The Story of Moe Ricks’s Optimism in the Face of Tragedy
"The typical healing process in the hospital is clinical – it's about medicines and machines. The Arts in Medicine guys, the type of healing that they offer is like basically for my soul."
AIM Workshops Go Virtual
Our teams are proud to present new ways of connection to those who have limited access to in-person engagements through virtual live-streaming, prerecorded classes and workshops, and other online resources. (photos taken prior to COVID-19 protocols)
