We often talk about how the arts feel good, but what if they could benefit our health?In this episode, we sit down with Aly Maier Lokuta, Assistant Vice President of Arts & Well-Being at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), to explore how creative expression is being used to improve mental, physical, and social health across New Jersey.From launching New Jersey's first arts prescribing program to co-founding a groundbreaking research lab with Rutgers, NJPAC is helping shape the future of the arts in healthcare. Aly shares how New Jersey’s anchor art institution is connecting communities through restorative and innovative programs. You can learn more about NJPAC’s work at the intersection of art and well-being at njpac.org/well.
