The Healing Power of ART 2019 Art Exhibition

On behalf of Manhattan Arts International I’ve had the honor and pleasure to present exhibitions devoted to “The Healing Power of ART” for more than 20 years — both in NYC venues and on this website. The show’s purpose is to promote the scientifically proven fact that art heals by transforming one’s physiological state and perception.

“The Healing Power of ART” 2018 ran from January 10 – March 10, 2019, and included outstanding art and statements by 70 artists.

For more information about our exhibitions please visit this page. Please share the link to this page on social media and write a comment below.  Please also visit our Art Gallery to view members’ artwork. ~ Renée Phillips, curator and director, Manhattan Arts International

    As I experience beauty, I wrote this:

    Down the circumference of time –
    meandering truth –
    hurriedly glance –
    hurtling by,
    beauty! beauty! halt!

    Here in this exhibition, beauty halts,
    and we can unhurriedly contemplate it,
    Thank you artists and thank you Renee,

    Dear Renee!

    I am very honoured to be selected by you and your team for the “Awards of Merit Winners”, but above all to participate at your side with all these talented artists.

    The meeting point of many artists through their mediums and approaches, undeniably gives an inner strength to all to lead to the deep healing of the being, of its soul.

    I thank you again for your work, for your passion to transmit and help artists through their promotion.
    My artistic approach is in a profound correlation with man’s introspection into his environment, on a universal level, and his well-being.

    I would do an article on my site, with in turn an emphasis on “Manhattan Arts” & “Healing Power Of Arts” in the interest of all.

    See you soon!

    Steevens Hill

    Exquisite…, I always enjoyed the art works for the Healing Power of ART show. Many thanks to the artists and many thanks to Rene, for her tremendous work.
    Let me quote again from Emily Dickinson’s poem 1585

    “What respite from her thrilling toil
    Did Beauty ever take—
    But Work might be electric Rest
    To those that Magic make”

    Those artists “Magic make”, here
