ArtMed inSight’s programs have been the subject of research by both Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Such studies have demonstrated marked gains in perceptual skills, which resulted in increased in reflection, observation, self-awareness, creativity, and stress reduction for the individuals who participated in its programs.

Training Perception Through Art

Our work uses structured engagement with artworks as a way to train perception for insight. Through guided looking, description, and discussion as well as hands-on art, writing, and observational exercises, we slow down visual experience and examine in real time how meaning is formed in what is seen.

Perception is not passive. It is structured, trained, and shaped through attention.

We help medical, mental-health and growth-seeking professionals increase their capacity for:

Observation

Communication

Problem-Solving

Wellbeing/Stress Reduction
