"Back in October 2024, the Sausalito-based artist’s community, Industrial Center Building (ICB), held its 'Artists at Work' day. Attendees watched local artists 'in action,' and it was also an opportunity to see why doctors in the United States are considering the concept of prescribing community art — or 'arts on prescription' — to help people with mental health concerns, since the event fostered creative expression and social connection. The World Health Organization recognizes social connection as a key social determinant of health. In response, a growing global movement known as social prescribing is emerging. This approach draws on successful international examples where activities like sports, gardening, arts, culture and time in nature are used to strengthen the bonds between individuals and their communities." – Pamela Coddington Samaniego
