Our Brains on Art: How the Arts Transform Community Health: A Conversation with Susan Magsamen
Can art transform our brains for the better?
Join local arts and health champion, Path with Art, in partnership with Seattle University and Town Hall Seattle, for a conversation with Susan Magsamen, New York Times bestselling co-author of Your Brain on Art, and director of Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab, as well as the co-director of the Aspen Institute’s Neuroarts Blueprint.
Susan will share the latest research demonstrating how individual and public health can be transformed through the arts.
When introduced in healing settings, arts engagement is associated with a reduction in the need for pain medication, reduced cortisol levels, decreased length of hospital stays, decreased incidence of depression, increased memory and cognitive function, and improved communication and behavioral skills.
This event will explore how the emerging science of neuroarts is expanding the horizons of mental wellness and public health, with some of the most exciting developments taking place here in Seattle and across the world.
