Arts-Focused Approaches to Public Health Communications

Watch Video

Public health communications can be enhanced with imagination, flexibility, and creativity to effectively connect across audiences. Artists are particularly responsive to cultural, political, and social changes, and are adept at meeting the moment through new collaborative tools. Artistic frameworks can break down complex topics, unify people across different ideologies, and bring public health issues to life for communities. Join researchers, practitioners, and artists who have used the arts to shift views and build healthier communities.

What if your doctor gave you a prescription for a concert or an art class? In the United Kingdom, patients who participate in or even just attend cultural activities have demonstrated health outcomes. A UF team is leading the implementation of this concept in the US.
