WHAT IF…
Arts + Community = Healthier People, Healthier Society?
Leveraging the power of the arts for the wellbeing of all.
One Nation/One Project is a national arts and health initiative designed to activate the power of the arts to repair the social fabric of our nation and heal our communities.
We are bringing together Artists, Local Governments, and Community Health Providers to foster equitable recovery and improved health in communities across America.
Our audacious new campaign titled Arts For EveryBody will show how the arts can lead to healthier people and healthier communities.
On July 27, 2024, in big cities and rural counties, hundreds of actors, muralists, poets, folk dancers, circus clowns, farmers, flower artists, skaters, cooks, architects, DJs, puppeteers, nurses, mariachi players, bamboo weavers and more will create new works that show the world where they come from. The result will be a celebration of American pluralism–of unity through diversity. It will be an outpouring of local joy.
Arts For EveryBody will do more than entertain, inspire, and galvanize: it marks a breakthrough moment in the relationship between the arts and health in America.
Sites are led by local artists, municipal officials and community health leaders, who are working together to create large-scale participatory arts projects that advance health, equity, and community connection.
