a2ru’s next annual conference will take place October 22-24, 2026, at the University of Memphis in Memphis, Tennessee. This will be an in-person conference.
This year’s theme, “How We Thrive: Arts, Health and Human Flourishing,” explores the many ways that the arts can drive health and wellness for individuals and communities. The rapidly expanding, international field of arts in health has established foundational research and continues to innovate across disciplines and in a range of clinical and community settings.
We are accepting proposals for workshops, presentations, panels, and posters/artwork.
Track One: Arts, Health and Human Flourishing
Track Two: Practical Applications for Arts Integration in Higher Education
Track Three: Steps Toward Change
