State arts agencies develop initiatives to leverage the positive impact of the arts on health and well-being. They form strategic partnerships with health-sector agencies and nonprofit organizations to strengthen social connections, build resilience, aid in healing from trauma and extend the benefits of the arts to all residents. To learn more about these partnerships, join colleagues from the South Carolina Arts Commission, the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Assembly of State Arts Agencies (NASAA) for a session that takes place as NASAA releases a new Arts, Health and Community Well-Being Strategy Sampler. Highlighting exemplary state level arts and health partnerships across the country, the strategy sampler will be available in advance of the upcoming application deadline for Partnership Agreement grants for the new NEA Arts, Health and Well-Being Pilot opportunity for state arts agencies. NEA representatives will be on hand to answer questions.
