Overview

The Art of Healing: Prescriptions for the Soul is a collaborative group exhibition and immersive wellness event exploring the connection between art, healing, therapy, and transformation.

On August 7, artists, musicians, wellness practitioners, and community leaders will fill SBDAC with original artwork and restorative experiences, including sound baths, guided meditation, yoga, live music, wellbeing presentations, and massage therapy.

Yoga, meditation, and sound baths are donation-based, with proceeds supporting Providence Family Life Center, a Fort Myers community organization providing trauma-informed behavioral health assessments, crisis navigation, wellness programming, and practical tools that help individuals and families heal, build resilience, and move forward with greater support.

Call to Artists: The Art of Healing

We invite creators of all kinds: visual artists, expressive therapists, doctors with a creative practice, patients who have found strength through art therapy, and energy healers who express their practice through the visual arts, to submit work for The Art of Healing.

We’re looking for:

• Pieces created during or as part of an art therapy journey
• Works by medical professionals who use art to decompress or express their experiences
• Energy-infused creations tied to reiki, sound healing, chakras, or meditative practices
• Interactive or participatory works that invite viewer engagement
• AI artwork will not be accepted into this show

Submission Deadline: July 27th, 2026
