Abstract
This editorial reviews how art as primary evidence can persuade those in other fields outside of applied arts of its profound influence psychologically, culturally, socially and politically. Examples are presented of how art’s inherent value and effect towards instilling deeper meaning, well-being and healthier ways of living, has influenced those who we might conceive of as holding financial power to open doors for funding and accessibility. And yet even after almost eighty years of applied arts and health in institutions across sectors, there are still those who feel that if we do not utilize the language and protocols of science, social science and medicine, then there will be no direct way towards securing funding. This long-standing debate is discussed here with illustrations that challenge this ongoing mythology. It is further emphasized that the samples presented here are the very reason that this journal was established in the first place.
