Arts & Health Week History
What began in 2024 as a local response to the National League of Cities' Arts and Health Day call to action, has grown into a thriving community movement. In 2025, more than 30 organizations came together hosting over 20 free events across our community for our second Arts & Health Week, demonstrating what's possible when healthcare, arts, education, business, and community partners unite around well-being. This distributed festival invites community participation and partnership, with events happening all across the community. This year, we're building on that momentum with even more opportunities to connect, create, and celebrate the power of the arts to improve lives.
