artsLAB: Meadows’ Creativity Meets Wellness in a Campus-Wide Collaboration
The Meadows Museum blends art, movement, and mindfulness in a cross-campus wellness event, uniting multiple SMU schools in an exploration of wellbeing through the arts.
Last week, the Meadows Museum opened its doors for artsLAB: Exploring the Mind, Body, & Heart Connection, a dynamic wellness experience designed exclusively for SMU faculty, staff and students.
The event brought together a remarkable coalition of partners across campus, featuring contributions from Meadows School of the Arts, Dedman College of Humanities & Sciences, the Dr. Bob Smith Health Center, SMU Project Poëtica and SMU Student Affairs.
Through movement, music, and conversation, artsLAB invited visitors to explore the powerful connections between creativity and wellbeing.
The idea for this immersive event began with Carol Dickson-Carr, a professor of practice at Dedman, whose research and creative practice explore how purposeful play can promote wellness.
