Your Life on Art: What Science Tells Us About the Impact of Your Making

In a culture that often dismisses art as a luxury, this talk challenges the status quo. Why does art matter? If you love to make things, you probably have an internal voice that says the creative act is important. Powerful, even. But, it’s often drowned out by a world that worships production, efficiency, speed, and conformity.

Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross are leaders in the twenty-year-old field of neuroarts and they say that, “…now we have scientific proof that the arts are central to our very survival.”

Prepare for a mind-shifting journey as we dig into the neurological landscape of creativity, revealing why art matters in ways you might not have imagined. I’ll share stories about how art heals, teaches, and connects. Activities that you do at home have REAL impact: physiologically, emotionally, developmentally, and so much more.

This talk unveils the compelling evidence that will reshape your perspective on the essential role of creativity in all of our lives.
