What does healing look like to you? What is a change you would like to see in the world? Share your answers via artwork and messages.
Everyone is welcome to participate!
The Interactive Healing Arts Project (HAP) is a collaborative initiative that explores local and global art as a medium for healing, in the community and in the classroom. While the artwork and reflections are shared online to ensure widespread accessibility, HAP was also imagined as a treasure hunt for 'healing' artworks that would be displayed in the windows of participating businesses in Davis' downtown district, and in any participating neighborhood.
While visiting this website, we kindly invite you to slow down, and to take the time to reflect on the artwork and the messages from community members and students of all ages. Thank you for being here.
The Interactive Healing Arts Project is supported, in part, by grants from the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs program, the non-profit 4.0 Schools, and the VELA Education Fund.

What is a change you’d like to see in the world right now?
