The Healing Arts Center has for 25 years occupied their historic two-story building in the heart of Eastsound. The center, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to offering alternative modalities for health and well-being to the community.

The first Healing Arts Fair, a fundraiser showcasing the talents of various practitioners, took place in 1988. More information on the center’s history and practices can be found at orcashealingarts.org.

The Healing Arts Center welcomes the community to its Fall Healing Arts Fair on the weekend of Oct. 19 and 20. This fundraiser, offered twice a year, allows clients to try out acupuncture and different styles of massage and bodywork at greatly discounted rates. A few sessions such as Thai Massage are offered by prepaid coupons, good through November. Sessions may be booked by phoning the Healing Arts Center at 376-4002, or stopping by 453 North Beach Road between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
