Home Nursing Agency's Center for Counseling invites the community to the annual art exhibit “The Creative Healing Gallery” on Thursday, August 21 from 12 -6 p.m. at the Center for Counseling, 500 E. Chestnut Ave., Altoona. The exhibit will feature the works from artists in the Agency's Art Therapy program.

Home Nursing Agency offers art therapy as an alternative form of therapy for clients with a variety of mental health issues who may benefit from a creative outlet for their thoughts and emotions. Art therapy offers individuals different mediums and tools to express their emotions and gain insight and awareness about them through a new perspective.

Art Therapy supplies are provided through Mission Grant funding from the Home Nursing Agency Foundation.

Some of the artists will be on site at The Creative Healing Gallery Exhibit to personally explain their works to those in attendance, and free refreshments will be offered.

For questions about Art Therapy, please call the Agency’s Center for Counseling at 814-943-0414.
