The Straz Center is pleased to present the Third Annual Arts and Mind Village Convening of 2025. In partnership with Johns Hopkins University's International Arts + Mind Lab and as an extension of the virtual Arts & Mind Village Chat, this event will create an engaging environment where scientists, researchers, and members of our community discuss the impact and actualization of the arts and healing.

This year, we will explore the bridge that connects the research provided by the scientific community and how that information can lead to practical application and actualization in the arts and healing community. Through a series of sessions, mini workshops, panelists, and leaders of the arts and health community, we are empowered to embrace art more deeply as a vital part of health and wellbeing.

Boxed lunches will be available in ham, turkey, and veggie wraps. Continental breakfast and refreshments will be available throughout the day.
