Co-Curated by: Hannah Kolb, Vincent Maluwa (AAAE Mentees)
Presenter(s): Dr. Patricia Lambert, National Organization for Arts and Health
Event description: Instrumental benefits of the arts contribute to a wide array of fields, including health. Indeed, arts organizations around the world are increasingly being asked to enhance health and well-being through programs developed in diverse institutional and community contexts. The arts are used as an instrument to support health by enhancing the healthcare experience, providing patient care, caring for caregivers, improving health sciences education, and contributing to public health. But how can professional arts leaders design, implement, and evaluate arts programs intended to achieve explicit health benefits? This presentation describes the intersection of the arts administration field and the arts in health field. The talk will show how using the logic model for strategic program design can work effectively in developing arts programs for concrete, measurable, and attainable health and well-being outcomes.
