arts and health week summit
On June 9, 2023, LA Opera Connects was honored to host the second annual Los Angeles County Arts and Health Week Summit in collaboration with Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture, Healing Arts—an initiative of the Jameel Arts & Health Lab—and the World Health Organization.
Thought leaders including medical experts, arts practitioners and administrators, policymakers and researchers gathered at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for discussions and presentations exploring how the arts can increasingly, and equitably, support health and wellbeing. The event featured Special Projects Advisor for LA Opera, WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Arts and Health and acclaimed soprano Renée Fleming, Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis and Dr. Maria Rosario Jackson, Chair of the National Endowment for the Arts.
This year’s convening added a focus on the importance of creative aging for older adults and offered attendees the opportunity to experience music, dance and painting programs.
