These researchers think so. They're using the arts - music, theatre and visual arts - in their research and wellness programs. The arts can empower people to express themselves and be heard. They can deepen understanding about the emotional, social and psychological aspects of well-being. And they can dispel misconceptions and break down barriers to accessing and participating in health research. Join us for discussions, debates, and refreshments.

This free event is presented by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and its Knowledge Translation Branch.
