The connection between arts and health is becoming increasingly recognized as an essential component of public health. Engaging with the arts—whether through visual arts, music, theatre, or other creative forms—has been shown to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The several cases we will show in this session prove how the arts can be integrated into healthcare settings and public health initiatives to improve patient outcomes and community health.

We will highlight examples from around the world where the arts are being used to transform healthcare experiences and improve the well-being of individuals and communities.
