About Art League Houston's Healing Art Program
Founded by Houston artist Patrick Palmer in 1990 and hosted by Art League Houston, The Healing Art program was created for adults living with HIV+/AIDS. In 1995, ALH provided additional Healing Art classes to serve adults living with other severe illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and physical disabilities. The ALH Healing Art program is the only one of its kind for adults in Houston, outside of hospital or clinical settings. ALH Healing Art classes are offered free of charge. ALH teaching artists Kermit Eisenhut and Emily Sloan instruct Healing Art students in painting, collage, drawing, and mixed media. In addition, ALH provides Healing Art students with opportunities to exhibit and sell their art each year.

Art League's Summer Art Camps provide children with creative, fun ways to engage their imaginations through visual art activities. Each one week session is thematic in nature and taught by one of Art League's outstanding teaching artists. As kids create art, they will explore ideas, learn arts vocabulary, and experiment with a variety of arts media. They will reinforce skills such as problem solving, observation, and cooperation. Most of all, they will have fun!
