COMMUNITY BUILDING: Artful Conversations: A new Arts Education Alliance Experience!

How Can the Arts Transform Us?

Have you ever wondered about the positive health influences (physical, emotional, mental, cognitive, spiritual, etc.) that all forms of art can have on us as human beings, in all aspects of life and development?  Are you curious about the deeper impact that art has on cultures, as well as the impact that cultures have on art?  Do you have a desire to explore scientific foundations and research on education through creativity and the Arts?  

If you have answered "yes" to any of the above, please join us for our premier Artful Conversations, focused on a foundational (and exciting) literary work called YOUR BRAIN ON ART: How the Arts Transform Us by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross.  We will use this literature as a stepping off point for future collaboration, dialogue, and experiences with and through the Arts. We hope you can join us for this adventure!
