Discover the Healing Power of Art: A Unique Fundraising Event You Can't Miss!

On March 23rd, The Other Palace will host a remarkable one-night-only event titled Art Cure: An Evening with Daisy Fancourt, in collaboration with renowned playwrights James Graham and Suzie Miller. This fundraising evening promises to explore the transformative influence of the arts on our health and well-being.

Empowering Health Through the Arts

Daisy Fancourt, an award-winning scientist and a leading figure in the study of how the arts can affect our health, will lead the discussion. Her recent publication, Art Cure: The Science of How the Arts Transform Our Health, delves into groundbreaking research that highlights the positive effects of arts engagement. During the event, she aims to present compelling findings about how creative activities can enhance our happiness and potentially extend our lifespan.

A Conversation with Experts

The event's hosts, James Graham and Suzie Miller, bring their own expertise to the table as patrons of Go Live Theatre. Fancourt expressed her enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, "I’m really looking forward to sharing some of the incredible cutting-edge science about how the arts impact our mind, brain, body and behaviour.” This collaborative discussion aims to provoke thought and encourage the audience to engage with the arts in a meaningful way.

Unlock Your Potential with Art

Fancourt’s work and the discussions at the event are not just academic—they are a call to action. With insights drawn from various scientific fields including neuroscience, psychology, and immunology, Art Cure serves as a practical guide for readers to harness the arts’ healing potential. Fancourt's vision is clear: to empower individuals to utilize creativity as a tool for personal health improvement, essentially enabling them to write their own "arts prescription."

This fundraising evening is not only an opportunity to support the arts but also to discover how they can significantly impact our personal health journeys. Tickets are available for booking at The Other Palace website.
