Sumario:Abstract This work is part of a research on alternatives of mental health care through art in a mental hospital in Argentina. During a year, an ethnographic field work was developed in three areas of the hospital which offer different art workshops. Such investigation has permitted the observation of the diversity of conceptions from which art can be used to approach psychic suffering in the hospital setting. The objective of this work was to analyze and describe the conceptions from which each of these areas work with art, deepening in one of them due to the differential character of the proposal. We start from the supposition that different work conceptions with art will have a direct impact on the practices, this is, how workshops are developed, enabling certain creative and/or therapeutic work possibilities and limiting others. The work was conducted through observations and interviews; going deeply into the analysis of one of the spaces, where it is observed that the patient is not approached from the psychiatric diagnosis, and the look stops being clinical and the "sick person" becomes an individual with the ability to act with regard to his/her own health.
