agree  HelenG: Without more context, I would agree that it is "when the purpose of art was to heal". However, more context could change everything as always:-

when Art was Medicine


Explanation:
Si può anche dire "when art was THE medicine", ma penso che qui sia più corretto dire semplicemente "Medicine", in quanto il riferimento è alla disciplina della medicina, non ad un qualsiasi medicamento. Per questo, metterei sia "Arte" che "Medicine" con le iniziali maiuscole.

oppure

when art was a healer
when art had a healing nature / mission / role

spero di essere di aiuto!
