SD Union Tribune: Prebys Foundation making $5.2 million bet on healing value of arts and nature
Prebys Foundation launched a $5.2 million initiative that invests in organizations with proven track records of connecting people to the arts with goals like preventing mental illness. Space 4 Art, along with 58 other organizations, was chosen.
“It’s so contrary to the clinical age in which we live, but it’s not surprising because when people are doing art, they’re tapping into their sense of who they are, into a flow state that is demonstrated to produce happiness, and they’re feeling a sense of agency and expression,” Oliphant said [CEO of the Prebys Foundation].
