For arts leaders and educators: to extend arts strategy to specific needs in medical practice. Arts Practica also provides consulting on program development and collaborations between medical schools and art museums. This work arises from the following questions: How and where do care providers learn the skills of excellent clinical engagement? What are the aesthetic components of attention? What is the role of art in the development of creative skills? What are components of beneficial collaborations across arts and science domains? How can art museums make a difference in the health of the communities they serve? Quality, creative attention is the difference between good and great in medicine. Arts Practica is committed to making this mysterious difference a practical reality.
