Welcome Arts & Wellness Seekers!

At Smith Center, we understand the therapeutic power of art in the pursuit of wellness. Recognizing the profound impact of creative expression on personal well-being, we offer a range of programs and resources designed to inspire and nurture.

The power of art lies in its exceptional capacity to heal. The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts serves as a beacon of inspiration. Our Artists in Residence Program trains and supervises local visual, literary, and performing artists who work directly with patients, caregivers, and clinicians to create opportunities for stress reduction, self-awareness, and self-expression in the outpatient infusion, radiation, and waiting areas.

From arts programs to wellness workshops, we encourage you to explore your creativity as a means of healing and personal growth. Smith Center believes in the transformative power of art and its ability to heal, uplift, and empower.

This section serves as a testament to that belief, providing a space for individuals to engage with art in a meaningful way and embark on their wellness journey.
