The role of arts and culture in health

Grantmakers in the Arts believes that arts and culture deserve public and philanthropic support because they have both intrinsic value and social value. This is why we are grateful for the privilege of featuring in our blog series the insights of public health research consultant Tasha Golden and of participating in discussions hosted by the arts and public health initiative launched by ArtPlace America and University of Florida’s Center for Arts in Medicine. And it is why we are grateful to contribute this brief essay to Grantmakers In Health. (author introduction) #P4HEwebinarMay2024
