Houston Methodist Center for Performing Arts Medicine

Check out this message from CPAM’s Director, J. Todd Frazier, regarding the 2nd installment of their Virtual Art Experiences and Strategic Information for Artists:

The Center for Performing Arts Medicine is responding to the unique challenges presented by Covid-19 by deploying the arts in creative ways to support the Houston Methodist Hospital and beyond. Drawing from these programs, we encourage you to consider using music for wellness in the variety of ways described in this letter. I have also added new links to local arts organizations for Virtual Art Experiences and local and national links for Strategic Information for Artists and Arts Organizations.
