Far more than a pop-up, “In Art We Heal” is a movement—a creative call to gather, witness, and co-create. It’s a space for dialogue, inspiration, and visibility. Designed to foster a connection between artists and audiences, self and community, the event invites everyone—from established creators to curious newcomers—to participate in an immersive art experience.

“This isn’t just about art on walls—it’s about art in motion, in community, and in healing,” says event founder and creative director Toni Short, an award-winning multidisciplinary artist and global event producer. “In today’s climate, artists need space to be seen, heard, and supported. That’s what this event is all about.” -- Toni Short, Producer and Multidisciplinary Artist
