This panel gathers leaders at the intersection of arts and health to reimagine wellness in the US and to examine the systems change needed to sustain and grow a creative workforce that can deliver health outcomes. Practitioners, researchers and advocates will discuss program models and evidence-based impacts along with infrastructure change we should be considering, including funding, cross-sector connections, policies and adaptations to health insurance such as social prescribing.

Lorem Ipsumis simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

From artists/entrepreneurs to small businesses to large institutions, the creative workforce accounts for a large swath of California’s economy but there are many gaps in how creative workers are supported and recognized. How are the arts thinking about innovative models to sustain the people who make up our industry to ensure that growth is not just possible, but progressive? In the last year we have seen new programs introduced from guaranteed basic income to pandemic unemployment assistance but the question remains, how do we move these programs from pilots to policy? Meet leading thinkers and organizers from California and beyond that are reimagining how policy and systems can make the arts work for its workers.
