Creating Healthy Communities Convening (PDP Opportunity)

Creating Healthy Communities Convening 2025

With the overarching aim of amplifying the power of arts and culture to connect communities and enhance health and well-being, the Creating Healthy Communities Convening will bring together
more than 500 people from across the United States who are thinking, working and innovating at the intersections of arts and culture, public health and community development.

Set against a vibrant backdrop of arts and cultural practices, the two-and-a-half-day convening will begin with opportunities to engage in arts activities across Newark from NJPAC’s ArtsRx partner organizations,
followed by two days of proceedings that will inspire bold ideas and advance progress while highlighting diverse and effective practices, research and policy models from around the world. Designed to foster connection,
dialogue, strategic thinking and learning — Creating Healthy Communities is a place for artists, arts organizations, public health and healthcare professionals, civic leaders and community organizers to come together to envision a healthier tomorrow through arts and culture.

Presented by the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine and New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC)
