Art Gems supports Creative Works Studio, an arts based occupational therapy studio program
in the community, offering healing and recovery through creative art for people living with serious
and persistent mental illness. Creative Works Studio is a non-denominational initiative of
the Inner City Health Program of St Michael’s Hospital and operates in partnership with
Good Shepherd Non-Profit Homes Inc. It was founded in 1998 and is led by its pioneer,
Isabel Fryszberg, an occupational therapist and practicing artist. Open throughout the week,
the Studio receives clients from mental health agencies across the city and, through over 2,500
client visits a year, helps them make a comfortable return to active life in the larger community.
