Creativity and Wellbeing – the results are in!

Neuroarts is the transdisciplinary study of how the arts and aesthetic experiences measurably change the body, brain, and behaviour and how this knowledge is translated into specific practices that advance health and wellbeing.

In 2019, the International Arts + Mind (IAM) Lab Center for Applied Neuroaesthetics and the Aspen Institute’s Health, Medicine & Society (HMS) Program launched the NeuroArts Blueprint initiative to unite and advance the field. The initiative seeks to cultivate the neuroarts into a fully recognized field of research and practice. It recently released an action plan to bring arts into the mainstream of medicine and public health: The NeuroArts Blueprint Initiative - NeuroArts Blueprint

The report is a little bit old now but there is a long list of research from across the world at the report and there is a website.

A slightly more recent article, 2022, is: Neuroarts: An Emerging Field with a Plan to Transform Health | Psychology Today United Kingdom
