An Artwork a Day is a reflective and research-informed exploration of how everyday creativity supports health and wellbeing. It is grounded in research on embodied thinking, enriched by cultural history, lived experience, and decades of community arts practice.
The book makes the case for an integrated approach to wellbeing, one that includes the body, the senses, memories, imagination, and the cultural traditions that root us in community. More than 150 supporting references are included for readers interested in better understanding the emerging field of arts in healthcare.
From storytelling and cooking to dancing, singing, and the re-viewing of experiences, the book traces how everyday practices across traditions help us navigate change, find steadiness, and renew daily life.
For readers seeking balance and purpose, An Artwork a Day is a reflective companion, a practical guide, and a resource for nurturing wellbeing.
