Art Pharmacy and North Carolina School of the Arts

Art Pharmacy has partnered with the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (UNCSA) and the Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts to launch a first-of-its-kind social prescribing program at an arts conservatory. Beginning fall 2025, trained Student Affairs staff at UNCSA will refer students to Art Pharmacy’s platform, connecting them with local community-based arts experiences that support mental health, reduce loneliness, and promote emotional well-being. This collaboration reflects a bold commitment to student wellness in high-pressure artistic environments and is part of the Kenan Institute’s broader effort to integrate the healing power of the arts into the lives of the next generation of creative leaders.
