Imagine an entire school – students, teachers, and administrators – taking time each morning to turn inward together, and listen to a brief mindfulness prompt and world-class music.
The Well's programs combine best practices in arts and wellness and are designed in partnership with those they serve.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Now located in Walnut Hills, an historic arts and culture neighborhood, The Well's new space includes a dedicated space for youth art making and wellbeing and a large gallery for programs and performances.
"We are so excited to be part of the growing momentum in Walnut Hills and to celebrate the creativity and wellbeing of residents and visitors in our creative space," said Stacy Sims, Executive Director and Founder. "We are equally excited to welcome Kelly Barber and Sarah Mackenzie to The Well, Sims added.
