FLOURISH is a collection of distinct, yet resonant research and creative projects that have a shared vision: to demonstrate the ways community-engaged creative arts engagement is an impactful intervention for enhancing social connection and wellness. In contrast to traditional, often clinical, definitions of “wellness” each of our Cluster’s contributing projects prioritize the meaningful outcomes of arts engagement as defined by a community.
