Arts in Health Ocala Metro is a nonprofit organization that supports mental and physical health through the arts by delivering the healing power of the arts to those who need it most.
Our Vision:
To serve Marion County residents who are experiencing mental or physical challenges by crafting interactive arts programming that empowers, forges deep connections, and changes lives.
About Us:
Our team of 12 multidisciplinary artists work with intellectually disabled adults, veterans, youth in foster care, at-risk teens, people with dementia, and other populations. AIHOM differs from other organizations that create art with the public in two key ways. First, we focus on the feel-good process of creating, rather than a finished art project. Second, we collect data on all our art interactions to substantiate that art interactions are good for the body and mind.
