During the COVID-19 pandemic, UCSF Art for Recovery is posting daily prompts to help patients and providers use writing, art, and music on our Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube channels while our drop in art clinics are on hold.We hope you will take a moment to enjoy these resources, and share with your friends and family.
The Ernest H.Rosenbaum MD Art for Recovery program provides a safe environment where adults can express the intense feelings that arise in life-threatening illnesses.
It nurtures the aesthetic sensibilities of patients, visitors, and medical staff at the various campuses of UCSF Medical Center and in the community, and creates a safe haven for patients and staff to be heard, to express their feelings and find support.
We invite you to explore the creative spirit of Art for Recovery participants and programs.
