With the impending dissolution of the Arts & Health Alliance (Alliance), its Board had asked Americans for the Arts to help by providing access to online resources and serving as a home for its members. Americans for the Arts recognizes the transformative power of the arts, and part of our 2015-2017 Strategic Plan is to raise awareness and understanding of all the ways the arts help to transform communities.

It is in this vein that we support arts and health efforts. We recognize the good work done by the Arts & Health Alliance in serving the arts and health community, and thank them for offering us the opportunity to be of service to its membership.

Starting in March, essential Alliance resources will be made available on the Americans for the Arts website. Additionally, as part of this transition, members of the Alliance will be offered a complimentary 2015 individual membership to Americans for the Arts, where they will become part of our growing community of thousands of arts professionals in arts industries across the nation.
