Leaders from government, the arts, academia and philanthropy gathered in Washington for “Healing, Bridging, Thriving: A Summit on Arts and Culture in our Communities."
Panel discussions focused on turning to the arts and humanities to solve challenges, from improving health to bridging divides.
HHS and the NEA have a long history of working together to improve health using the arts, including through music, Becerra said.
That's through painting, that's through food, that's through performances and music,” Lowe said in an interview before the summit.
“They're so tied together it's hard to separate the two.”Biden's executive order said the arts, humanities and museum and library services are essential to the well-being, health, vitality and democracy of the nation.
