Arts and Health is an interdisciplinary field that explores how creative activities, such as music, visual arts, dance, and writing, can positively impact individuals' physical and mental well-being. It recognizes that engaging in the arts can reduce stress, improve mood, enhance social connections, and aid in recovery from illness. Hospitals, community programs, and therapeutic settings increasingly incorporate arts-based interventions to promote healing and quality of life. This approach acknowledges the vital role of creativity in human experience and its potential to support health outcomes and foster resilience in individuals of all ages.
