Abstract	This study examined the impact of art-based life review on depression symptoms among older adults (N = 54). This is the first study to examine the impact of drawing among Iranian older adults. Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental art group of 6 weekly sessions or a control group of the same duration; both groups participated in various leisure activities. Intervention goals focused on reducing depression symptoms. Short- and long-term effects of the drawing interventions were analyzed and compared with the controls. Participants were shown to have a decrease in depression symptoms after the art sessions, supporting the need for increased access to opportunties for arts engagement and access to art therapy services among older adults in Iran.
