About Arts in Health Ocala Metro (AIHOM) is a non-profit organization that supports mental and physical health through the arts. AIHOM differs from other organizations that create art with the public in two key ways. First, we do not “teach” artmaking. Rather, we use art as a vehicle to positively impact community physical and mental health. The creation of a finished product is less important than how the process of creating makes one feel. Second, we collect data on all our art interactions to substantiate that the arts are good for the body and mind.
Mission: Arts in Health Ocala Metro is a nonprofit that supports mental and physical health through the arts.
Vision: To transform the health of Ocala/Marion County through healing arts programming.

This project highlighted the area's artistic talent and laid a strong foundation for MCA's ongoing mission to foster creativity and artistic expression.
MCA's efforts extend far beyond individual art projects. The organization is pivotal in promoting, facilitating, and creating opportunities for artists and arts organizations. Through a variety of means, including grants, strategic partnerships, advocacy, and fundraising, MCA ensures that the arts remain a vibrant and integral part of community life. By providing financial support and resources, MCA empowers artists to pursue their passions and helps arts organizations to thrive. The alliance's dedication to the arts also encompasses the preservation of historical and scientific museums, ensuring that cultural heritage is maintained and celebrated.
