PMAC and Krempels: Healing Through The Arts a Success

Art Therapist Laura Beaudoin leads
 an exercise in art therapy. 

On Wednesday, February 13th, members of Krempels center and members of the community welcomed a presentation by board certified music therapist Ginna Macdonald and art therapist Laura Beaudoin of PMAC. This event was the culmination of 18 weeks of music and art therapy sessions provided to members of Krempels Center by PMAC, a partnership made possible by an Arts In Healthcare grant from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts.  

Attendees were able to participate in art and music therapy activities, view the artwork that members had created, and hear about some of the techniques and goals of art and music therapy. Check out some of the photos:
