Arts & Health @ NYU is a university-wide initiative that brings together faculty, students, and researchers across global campuses to explore relationships between the arts and health. At a time of complex global challenges, the arts offer vital means to interpret experience, foster connection, and catalyze change. While their impact is increasingly recognized, only recently have rigorous studies and policy integration begun to emerge.
As a collaborative hub, the Arts & Health @ NYU advances interdisciplinary research, artistic and therapeutic innovation, and curricular development to strengthen a collective and critical understanding of the role of the arts in promoting healthier lives and more equitable societies.
