Arts-Focused Approaches to Public Health Communications

Public health communications can be enhanced with imagination, flexibility, and creativity to effectively connect across audiences. Artists are particularly responsive to cultural, political, and social changes, and are adept at meeting the moment through new collaborative tools. Artistic frameworks can break down complex topics, unify people across different ideologies, and bring public health issues to life for communities. Join artists, researchers, and administrators who have used the arts to shift views and build healthier communities. Topics will include:
- An exploration of art as a tool for successful and meaningful public health communications and storytelling
- Best practices for initiating collaborations with artists and respectfully portraying members of population groups
- A real-world campaign that used art to communicate about public health
