Your Brain on Art

Join us for an evening with Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross, the authors of Your Brain on Art. Discover the groundbreaking science behind the evolutionary dynamics of art and its impact on our brains and our health. This lecture will illuminate how the arts can profoundly enhance our physical and mental health, foster learning, and build stronger communities.

Join us as we explore:

  • The revolutionary field of neuroaesthetics
  • Insights from multidisciplinary pioneers like David Byrne, Renée Fleming, and E.O. Wilson
  • Compelling stories of how the arts are making a positive impact on daily life

This is not just a call to “bring back the arts.” It’s a call-to-arms for integrating the arts with science and technology to shape a more humane and innovative future. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand how the arts are vital to our well-being and societal progress. Be part of this enlightening journey and elevate your understanding of the arts’ transformative power.

Join us for an unforgettable experience and be inspired to see the essential value of the arts in a whole new light!
