ARTS + HEALTH SYMPOSIUM

Collectively, we celebrate the transformative power of creativity. As advocates, we recognize the importance of linking the arts to economic and health outcomes. And while considerable research has been done to measure these extensive, positive effects, it is essential to work together to deepen these insights for the sake of a continuously thriving arts and culture sector.

The Arts + Health Symposium, powered by the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis (RACSTL), gathers arts leaders and healthcare professionals to share knowledge on pressing topics and present actionable data on the relationship between the arts and health. Attendees will learn from medical and neural researchers who explore the effects of creativity on the body and mind as well as hear from local arts agency leaders, who seek to grow the sector with this information.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
While content will appeal primarily to arts & culture leaders (including c-suite, development, communications and program staff) and medical and healthcare professionals, all people with intersecting interests are welcome.
WHY FOCUS ON HEALTH
There is not widespread knowledge about the effects of the arts on individual and collective wellbeing. While anecdotes are prevalent, many are not aware that arts participation has been used in clinical trials and neurological studies.
