Arts For EveryBody

Last summer, Arts For EveryBody brought participatory public art to 18 U.S. communities, strengthening wellbeing through unique, scalable collaborations across the arts, health, and municipal sectors. In February, leaders and artists from these diverse communities gathered to reflect, share impact, and inspire nationwide action in arts-driven community healing. Last week, we attended the Arts For EveryBody Capstone Convening in Dallas, TX , meeting with the leaders from all 18 sites for the first time - a remarkable community of artists, creatives, thought leaders and change-makers! Check out the crew and some of the key themes that came from the conversations. We want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who has contributed to making the 3-year initiative a success! Whether you were on the national team, the site team, participated in the events of July 27th, took the arts engagement survey, or worked on the research with us, this couldn't have been possible without YOU! We can't wait to share the research & findings from the survey and Arts For EveryBody projects. Stay tuned for some groundbreaking insights!
