8 Dec Healing Arts Singapore @ YST-NUS
Overview
On Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday, this symposium opens the Healing Arts Singapore week with a focus on research, practice, and policy at the intersection of arts, health, and wellbeing. It brings together leaders from research, healthcare, arts and culture, and government to explore how the arts can strengthen wellbeing, reimagine care, and inspire systemic change. Through dialogues, presentations, and workshops, participants will engage with emerging evidence, innovations, and collaborations that link arts participation with healthy ageing, youth mental health, and inclusive communities. The discussions will also spotlight growing efforts to integrate the arts into healthcare and community systems through social prescribing. The NUS symposium culminates with the launch of the THRivE (Tools for Health Research and Evaluation in arts and heritage) toolkit — Asia’s first freely available e-book supporting more rigorous evaluation in arts, heritage and health — followed by a celebratory THRivE reception with live music and canapés.
