In 1990, Art League Houston (ALH) founded its free Healing Art program for adults living with HIV+/AIDS. In 1995, ALH provided additional Healing Art classes to serve the needs of adults living with other severe illnesses including cancer, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and physical disabilities.

ALH Healing Art classes are conducted in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Each Friday, September to May, two Healing Art classes are presented in four hour sessions. The HIV+/AIDS and Cancer Related Illnesses Class is taught by Kermit Eisenhut, and Emily Sloan instructs the MS and Physical Disabilities Class. Tuition and art supplies are provided at no cost to the students as a majority are living on fixed incomes.

Healing Art students participate in two ALH sponsored events which are the Spring Sale and Benefit and the ALH Healing Art Gala Silent Auction. There is a sense of camaraderie in the two Healing Art groups, and the on-going opportunities to exhibit and sell art work gives students a sense of accomplishment.
