Western Sydney University aims to create a vibrant and well regarded arts and health research culture. Our interdisciplinary teams of researchers focus on bringing creative practice to healthcare, navigating arts engagement in challenging times, and using art for our collective wellbeing.

You are invited to our inaugural Arts, Health and Wellbeing research showcase on Wednesday the 8th December 10 AM – 12PM
The 2-hour event showcases innovative arts, health and wellbeing research. These rapid fire presentations will be followed by an expert panel discussion about how to support arts, health and wellbeing practice, research and policy in Western Sydney and beyond.

In our challenging times, it is perhaps now more critical than ever to better understand how art can benefit the health and wellbeing of societies and environments. We aim to build upon cultural wellbeing frameworks to enable better implementation art, health and wellbeing practices and policies and resultant policy directions.
