Creative Care: An artist in healthcare is based on my experiences in bringing studio practices into healthcare settings and how artists looking for career opportunities to serve their community and those in vulnerable health can do the same.
Written for the hands-on audience, this book includes necessary terminology, materials use and safety as well as project development for the emerging, mid and career artists and creative types.

Arts Advocacy
“Arts in Healthcare was a new endeavor at Sanford Vermillion Care Center. Ari’s approach to engage residents has contributed to the quality of life of our residents. Her unique approach has enhanced engagement and relationships between residents, families and staff. Outcomes - supervised by our clinical team - demonstrate significant decrease in behavioral issues and dependence on anti-psychotic medications used to control behaviors. Our residents, families and staff have been impacted significantly by an Arts in Healthcare program innovatively delivered at Sanford Vermillion Care Center."
“USD students participating in the Arts in Health certificate program have gained a new skill set for their careers. Several students have decided they will continue to pursue Arts in Health as a career. Creative Care has qualified professionals to help the community use art for healing in our contemporary world.”
“Working alongside Ari Albright is a blessing not only for the creative care team but the people supported. I have witnessed great change in people’s spirits, wellness, personalities, and behaviors; for instance I witnessed a very “unemotional jokester” pour out their emotions on canvas with alcohol inks, only to later sob with joy over discovering emotions about his self and family heritage. This was a trivial moment that changed the artistic nature of every person in that room that day, and I know that Ari Albright and her team can continue to provide the supplies for moments like these in the future.”
