Join us for our 24th Annual Training Institute in March! 

This year’s attendees can anticipate immersive days focused on experiential skill-building, embodied learning, and applied discourse. Through a structured combination of talks, panel presentations, site visits, and facilitated art workshops, experienced staff and presenters will share contemporary knowledge, clinical perspectives, and field-based expertise. 

By the end of the program, participants will have gained practical frameworks and strategies for implementing and sustaining high-quality, person-centered arts programming for individuals living with cancer and chronic illness, their caregivers, and older adults across the aging spectrum.
