During the past 15 years, artists have established a remarkable
record of innovation and success in institutional settings. Their
work with hospital patients, prisoners, the elderly, the disabled,
the mentally ill, and others has shown that the arts can have a
significant positive impact on the lives of these people. This book
recounts the histories of 22 institutional and community arts
programs across the country pioneering this approach through
activities such as creative writing and the performing and visual
arts. Consisting largely of first-hand accounts, the book
demonstrates how the creative processes have been used to address
and solve some of society's most pressing problems. Included are
case studies, research, and descriptions of the wide variety of
artistic, educational, and therapeutic approaches utilized by each
of the 22 programs. Also described are many of the financial and
political strategies used to build and sustain support for these
unlikely endeavors. This work will provide valuable insights for
artists, educators, social service providers, and community
leaders.
