The Future of Arts + Healing

The Future of Arts + Healing brings together leaders across healthcare, the arts, education, philanthropy, business, and community to explore the role creativity can play in shaping healthier people and communities.

Created by Living Canvas Foundation, this inaugural gathering marks the beginning of a larger vision: cultivating a more connected Arts + Healing ecosystem in Los Angeles.

The future of health and well-being isn’t shaped by any one discipline. It’s shaped by what becomes possible when we come together.
