Stanford Arts Prescribing Program
Free arts & culture activities to help you flourish.
The Stanford Arts Prescribing Program is your personalized pass to Stanford's arts & culture scene. Team up with a guide, tell us what you're curious about, and we'll curate up to 9 free experiences for you to try.
Open to all Stanford undergrad, co-term, graduate students, and postdocs.
Stanford Arts is partnering with SocialRx to offer arts prescriptions to the University community.
How it Works
Your Arts Prescription
Your arts prescription is a set of up to 9 arts & culture experiences, picked just for you. (We call each one a "dose.")
Working closely with a SocialRx Care Navigator, you'll identify and participate in arts and culture activities that match what you're into and what you'd like to try. When you reach the end of your prescription, you can get a refill for additional doses.
We welcome all Stanford students and postdocs to explore the benefits of an arts prescription. Curiosity is the only requirement. (No diagnosis, reason, or art experience necessary.)
Your Guide
Throughout your prescription, your guide (a SocialRx Care Navigator) gets to know what you love and what you’re curious about, then suggests experiences for each dose.
They handle the details, like tickets, RSVPs, and accessibility needs, send reminders, and check in afterward to see how it went.
