Description: The NeuroArts Blueprint is an action plan intended to inspire bold, culture-changing steps that partners science, the arts, and technology to build a sustainable new field to improve the health and wellbeing of communities around the globe. The International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University and the Health, Medicine & Society program of the Aspen Institute are spearheading this initiative, which is designed to build a neuroarts ecosystem. The March 2022 webinar offers an update since the Blueprint was released in December 2021, describes what the National Institutes of Health is doing to grow the field, and outlines plans for the future. Learn how we are advancing research, practice, education, policymaking, advocacy, leadership, and communication to cultivate this rich field. Find out how the Blueprint will foster connections among stakeholders, how you can get involved, and what success looks like. To realize its potential, neuroarts must become a fully recognized field of research and practice, with educational and training pathways, dedicated funding, supportive public sector and private sector policies, effective leadership, well-crafted communications strategies, and infrastructure capacity. The Blueprint explains how that can be done in order to cultivate and sustain a field that can advance human health, strengthen communities, and promote culture change.
