In 2012, the National Endowment for the Arts teamed with the National Institutes of Health to sponsor a National Academies workshop that explores a relationship of the Arts to health and well-being in older adults. This report includes a summary of the proceedings as well as observations and recommendations on how to strengthen the quality of Arts and well-being. The workshop and report emerged from collaborations made possible by the Federal Interagency Task Force on the Arts and Human Development.
