More and more people are realizing the possibility of utilizing forms of art as a method of therapy and also as a way of affecting social change. One such organization that has worked in this area for some time is the Arts and Healing Network, which was founded by Marion Weber. This site was created in 1997 as a way for people to learn about the healing potential of art, and includes sections where people can learn about projects that combine art, community, and healing. Additionally, visitors can browse through the organization's newsletter and also funding opportunities for artists. Visitors will definitely want to visit the projects area as they will learn about thematic ideas that combine these two worlds, including those that raise environmental awareness and those that build community.
