2020 Temporary Exhibit
Hale and Hearty
adjective.
1. In very good health
When thinking about good health and wellness, people focus on the physical – nutrition, exercise, weight-management. Yet physical health is only one of the dimensions of wellness. Emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, and economic well-being are also key to healthy living. Neglect of any dimension over time adversely affects the others, and ultimately one’s health, well-being, and quality of life. The arts play a key role in several of these dimensions.
This exhibit closed early due to COVID-19 closure.
Art nurtures the soul, fosters creative growth, stimulates self-expression, and provides a way to communicate and make meaningful connections with others. Expressing yourself through the arts can be one of the more enjoyable components of an overall wellness plan. Explore how art helps keep us hale and hearty.
To extend this exhibit further in the Haines community, the museum partnered with SEARHC Haines Health Center to bring art from the collection to the local health clinic. Read more about the project here!
