"Your Brain on Art" Book Launch and Discussion

Description

Join the International Arts + Mind Lab for a lively discussion about the book Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us with coauthors Susan Magsamen, founder and director of the International Arts + Mind Lab, and Ivy Ross, vice president of hardware design at Google, in dialogue with WYPR host Tom Hall. Additional panelists include Johns Hopkins professors John Krakauer and Meg Chisolm and arts and health artist Fred Johnson.

"Your Brain on Art" shares the new science behind humanity's evolutionary birthright — to make and behold art and its power to transform our lives. What artists have always known, and researchers are now proving, is the arts, in all its forms, amplify physical and mental health, learning and flourishing, and build stronger communities.
