- **Event Name**: Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Transform Our Health with Daisy Fancourt
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 11 Feb, 2026 at 08:00 pm – Wed, 11 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Many of us see art as a hobby or a luxury. But what if engaging with it – from classical music to salsa, poetry to pop gigs, galleries to graffiti – is actually one of the most powerful tools we have for improving health and happiness?

In Art Cure, world-leading researcher Professor Daisy Fancourt reveals how the arts can transform our lives. Songs help shape children’s developing brains, creative hobbies build resilience against dementia, and visual art and music can reduce depression, stress and pain as effectively as some medications. Dance helps create new neural pathways for people recovering from brain injury, and attending live music, museums or theatre lowers the risk of loneliness and frailty. Arts engagement even supports the functioning of major organ systems.

Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, immunology and psychology – plus inspiring real stories – Fancourt shows how art doesn’t just help us survive, but truly flourish.
