Creative Arts and the Power of Culture (In-Person)
Sunday, June 28 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Culture is a powerful driver of connection and change. Though we often view ourselves as thinking creatures, we are actually feeling creatures who think. Creative expression nourishes our health and community, bridging differences through music, art, and theater.

Our panel on “Creative Arts and the Power of Culture” will explore the dynamic relationship between the human spirit and brain when engaged in the arts. Together, we will examine how the arts and creative expression shape emotion, health, and community. Join us for an enlightening conversation on the transformative power of culture and the arts.

Moderator: Sarah M. Berry, Bodzin Art Gallery Curator
Panel of Experts:
· Ori Z. Soltes, Professor Georgetown University, Author and Art Historian
· Tom Sweitzer, Music Therapist and Co-Founder of “A Place to Be”
· Eileen Mandell, Community Relations Director of 1st Stage Theatre
