Arts in health leader and philanthropist Margery ‘Margie’ Pabst Steinmetz has collaborated with the University of Florida - Center for Arts in Medicine for nearly a decade to propel the field toward what she describes as the “seatbelt moment”—when engaging with the arts in our daily lives is as natural as clicking on a seatbelt. The latest feature story from UF College of the Arts In the Loop news explores the groundswell of impact that is currently underway as #ArtsInHealth research and applied practice gain traction in communities across the U.S. and globally, and we learn from Margie and her collaborators at UF CAM about what they envision for the future of the field.

Did you know? The arts strengthen mental health! 45 minutes of art-making can reduce stress hormones by 25%, and 60% of Americans say the arts have helped them cope during tough times. The Choose Yourself Workbook by award-winning vocalist and music psychotherapist Stacie Aamon Yeldell is a 12-week self-paced journey designed to transform your daily habits through the healing power of the arts. Featuring self-care rituals, reflective journaling, and guided meditations accompanied by live acoustic guitar, this workbook also encourages creative expression as a path to mental and emotional balance. Stacie is committed to promoting the benefit of music to health and wellbeing—she recently facilitated a conversation, "Moments for Creative Wellbeing," at the LA Opera Arts and Health Week Summit.
