Humans have been creating art for millennia — since long before the emergence of the written word. Now, researchers are beginning to document how both making and engaging with art can improve well-being. Art-based interventions have shown the potential to alleviate symptoms in conditions affecting both physical and mental health. And the emerging field of NeuroArts is spurring still more research into how creativity can shape the body, brain, and behavior. Our panelists have deep experience exploring these connections and using art to promote health. They’ll explain the latest research, share their personal experiences, and offer tips for incorporating the arts in wellness programs. This event is a Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Forum.
