The SuperART project is based on the therapeutic potential of art, proposing an innovative intervention, combining arts, nature and virtual reality to promote well-being in individuals with mental illness.  Objective This mixed study evaluated the effectiveness of an artistic intervention on the well-being of people with mental illness.  Methods Eight participants took part in activities such as art exhibitions, creating outdoor art and using virtual reality. The Non-pharmacological Therapy Experience Scale (NPT-ES) assessed participants' experiences during sessions, and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) measured well-being before and after the intervention. At the end, a focus group was conducted.  Results Most of the study participants were male, aged between 35 and 56, with a predominant diagnosis of Schizophrenia. Significant changes were observed in the well-being reported by the participants (p-value = .011). There were no differences in engagement and participation across sessions, but overall interest in the intervention increased. Qualitative feedback was promising and participants were satisfied with the project.  Conclusion The study highlights the potential of museums as therapeutic contexts for the use of art to promote well-being in individuals with mental illness. The intervention demonstrated encouraging results, including greater well-being and evoked memories. More research with more representative samples is needed to develop effective strategies to promote well-being and provide individuals with genuine opportunities to contribute to the community.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/2526-8910.ctoao287437342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,13]],"date-time":"2024-09-13T14:14:12Z","timestamp":1726236852000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Art as a therapeutic medium: the SuperART project"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4181-9908","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isa","family":"Alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade, Polytechnic of Porto,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4703-1712","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel Sim\u00f5es de","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade, Polytechnic of Porto,  Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0072-6296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvador Sim\u00f3","family":"Algado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Vic,  Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8656-5023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3nio","family":"Marques","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior de Sa\u00fade, Polytechnic of Porto,  Portugal"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024]]},"reference":[{"issue":"18","key":"ref1","first-page":"1","article-title":"A systematic review of the use of art in virtual reality","volume":"10","author":"Aldridge A.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Electronics (Basel)"},{"year":"2013","author":"Alves J.","series-title":"Non Pharmacological Therapy Experience Scale (NPT- ES) - Authorized Portuguese adaptation","key":"ref2"},{"year":"2024","series-title":"Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Encontrar+se","key":"ref3"},{"issue":"7","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0101035","article-title":"How art changes your brain: differential effects of visual art production and cognitive art evaluation on functional brain connectivity","volume":"9","author":"Bolwerk A.","year":"2014","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"71","DOI":"10.1353\/jae.2005.0028","article-title":"Art as a political act: expression of cultural identity, self-identity, and gender by Suk Nam Yun and Yong Soon Min","volume":"39","author":"Caruso H.
