About the\nProgram
Art therapy is an integrative practi
ce that enriches\nthe lives of individuals\, families and communities thro
ugh active\nart-making. Activities are facilitated by a professional art t
herapist and\nare designed to improve cognitive and sensorimotor functions
\, foster\nself-esteem and self-awareness\, cultivate emotional resilience
\, promote\ninsight\, enhance social skills\, and reduce and resolve inter
nal and\nexternal conflicts. Museum-based art therapy is a collaboration b
etween art\ntherapy and art education\, in which the museum (in this case\
, Sun Valley\nMuseum of Art) operates as a space for participants to exper
ience\ninclusivity\, community\, and opportunities for learning and explor
ation. At\nthe same time\, art therapy catalyzes participants’ healing\,
\ntransformation and expression through their experiences at the museum.
Now in its second season\, SVMoA's art therapy program has expanded its\nscope to include adults experiencing differences in their memories a s well\nas those facing issues with their sensorimotor capabilities as a r esult of\naging\, neurodegenerative disease\, stroke and heart attack. Ext ensive\nresearch on the benefits of art therapy has been done with these\n populations\, specifically in museum settings. Following the lead of many\ nlarger metropolitan museums\, SVMoA is proud to implement its own art\nth erapy program and share the innovative practice’s many benefits with\nme mbers of the Wood River Valley community.

In Walking\,\nwrit ten near the end of his life and posthumously published in 1862\, Henry\nD avid Thoreau admits that\, despite what many of us may like to think of\nh im\, he had\, “with regard to Nature”\, only “led a sort of border\n life”.
