About this Event
Join us for an inspiring evening with Professor Susan Magsamen of Johns Hopkins University, founder and executive director of the International Arts + Mind Lab and co-author of the New York Times bestseller Your Brain on Art.
Professor Magsamen is a leading voice in neuroaesthetics, the growing field that studies how the arts affect our brains, bodies, and behavior. In this session, she'll show how art, music, and creativity are being used to support healing, improve mental health, and transform the way we think about medicine and care.
