Neuroarts Global Summit

The inaugural Neuroarts Global Summit will bring together hundreds of neuroarts leaders, innovators, artists, researchers, practitioners, and emerging voices from across sectors to share the growing evidence of how the arts and aesthetic experiences affect the brain, body, and behavior, and how that knowledge is being integrated across healthcare, community settings, and beyond.

Neuroarts is reaching a defining moment. There is tremendous momentum across sectors, with growing evidence of how the arts and aesthetic experiences impact the brain, body, and behavior and how this knowledge can be translated into practices designed to advance health and wellbeing of individuals and communities, including not only physical and mental health, but also social connections, lifelong learning, and enriched quality of life.

This December, leaders across sectors will come together in Washington, DC, for the first-ever Neuroarts Global Summit to celebrate the field’s progress, demonstrate its impact, and chart the path ahead.

We invite you to join us. Be part of this important moment. Help us shape what comes next.

From Evidence to Impact: Charting the Future of Neuroarts

The inaugural Neuroarts Global Summit will bring together hundreds of neuroarts leaders, innovators, artists, researchers, practitioners, and emerging voices from across sectors to share the growing evidence of how the arts and aesthetic experiences affect the brain, body, and behavior, and how that knowledge is being integrated across healthcare, community settings, and beyond.

Through curated panels, one-on-one interviews, immersive experiences, and ample time for networking, we will take stock of where the field is and begin to draw a new blueprint – a shared course of action that builds on our progress to date while also identifying the priorities, partnerships, investments, and other activities for the next five years that will continue to move the field forward.

The Summit will advance the neuroarts field by focusing on:

Bringing evidence and artistic practice together: Connecting research and the arts in equal measure to deepen our understanding of human potential and translate that knowledge into practice.

Growing as a field with broad relevance: Exploring the growing role of neuroarts across health, education, culture, community, business, government, and every sector touched by human experience.

Advancing through collaboration: Reflecting on what we are building, learning, and discovering together—and how collective effort is shaping the field.

Moving from vision to impact: Sharing the progress made as the field moves from strategy and theory of change toward meaningful action, application, and measurable impact.

Positioning the field for the future: Looking ahead to the coming years and the extraordinary potential for neuroarts to become an increasingly powerful force for human wellbeing.
