June 12, 2026 | Inaugural Lecture: The Art of Healing | Rotterdam
The Art of Healing marks the inaugural lecture of Tineke Abma upon accepting the Chair in Art and Care at Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. The day centres on the role of art in health, wellbeing and meaning. What does it take to recognise art not as an addition, but as an integral part of care and society? And how can practice, research and policy work together in this development? An Arts & Health Festival and symposium take place alongside the lecture, bringing together artists, researchers, care professionals and policymakers.
Through dialogue and exchange, the event reflects on the continued development and sustainability of arts in health. Further details on the programme, speakers and registration are available here.
