Global Goals: A New Score for the Arts and Public Health
Jul 17, 2026
Description
Against the backdrop of the world’s celebration of soccer, the conversation of treating arts engagement like exercise and sport—a core public health strategy—gets explored at this event. Like with those activities, growing evidence shows that engagement in music, dance, storytelling and the visual arts strengthens stress regulation, emotional well-being, social connection and community resilience. Voices from the arts, sports, public health and policy worlds come together to examine how creative participation can advance World Health Organization (WHO) global health targets while aligning with New York City’s priorities around prevention, equity and neighborhood-level well-being.
