Arts and Health

The Straz Center’s Arts & Health programming fulfills our commitment to amplify conversation with our patrons and greater regional and national community about the importance of art – in both presentation and participation – as a path for personal and communal health, wellness and life enrichment.

In partnership with Johns Hopkins University’s Arts & Mind Lab, our Arts & Mind Village chat is a virtual conversation between artists, scientists and researchers who gauge measurable outcomes gained through experiencing the arts, which in the past has been met with skepticism. Through this exchange, all involved are empowered to embrace art more deeply as a vital part of health and wellbeing. The Straz Center is committed to be a leading voice in this conversation and the Art & Mind Village chat series is key to achieving our goals in helping Straz patrons and the larger Johns Hopkins University community.
