Art Cure - Professor Daisy Fancourt in Conversation with CVAN London

You are warmly invited to meet with Professor Daisy Fancourt who will be discussing her latest book - Art Cure, followed by Q&A and conversation.  Join us on December 9th 1-2pm

Join us as Professor Fancourt introduces her new book, Art Cure, and discusses her groundbreaking research on the impact of arts and culture on health and wellbeing. Whether you are providing Londoners with one of Daisy’s “5 a day of culture”, you are new to her research or a long standing supporter, this is a fantastic opportunity to hear directly from one of the leading voices in arts and health. There will be time for Q&A and wider conversation.

Daisy’s research for DCMS shows that cultural engagement contributes over £18bn a year to UK adults’ general health, and that daily arts participation brings young people wellbeing benefits valued at over £1,000 per year, equating to £800m in societal savings. Her findings continue to evidence the positive economic benefit of public investment in culture and highlight the essential role of creative engagement, especially for young people.
