Health in the Arts 
Compendium


This newly created resource 
Health in the Arts Compendium
encompasses a very substantial collection 
of writings about all health and safety topics 
relevant to visual artists working in most 
of the established mediums, including drawing 
and painting, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry etc., 
as well as many more articles dedicated to specialized 
and science-based health and safety topics and 
experience and advice from the medical field.

Many of the articles included here were created by the Center for Safety in The Arts. This new resource of about 130 articles edited and compiled by Friedhard Kiekeben for nontoxicprint, is a collaboration with the Health in The Arts Institute at the University of Illinois Chicago. It is designed to be useable as a stand-alone resource as well as an expanded pool of essays on topics that integrate very well with other areas, pages and subjects on nontoxicprint.com   |    We are especially grateful to Dr David Hinkamp, MD, MPH, for his kind assistance in creating this online work which we hope will be of interest to artists, educators, teachers, and hobbyists from many fields of creative practice.
