Art Funders' Network
 

Arts Funders' Network webinar

with guest speakers Prof Peter O'Connor & David Pannett

Tuesday 29th October 2019

2.00pm - 3.30pm

 

Discover the powerful results philanthropic funding for the arts has in sustaining mental wellbeing including repairing and rebuilding communities after major disaster events.

The arts improve mental health and wellbeing while recovering from trauma post-disaster - such as the March 15 shooting.

If you are a funder interested in wellbeing or the arts attend this webinar to be inspired by the positive outcomes of funding the arts.

Hear from Professor Peter O'Connor, Academic Director of the Creative Thinking Project at the University of Auckland. He will discuss his cutting edge international research on the benefits of arts programmes in communities after a major disaster. Peter researches the arts in earthquake zones, in prisons, psychiatric hospitals and with the homeless.
