SUMMARY:WAMFest “Arts in Health”
DESCRIPTION:WAMFest “Arts in Health”\nWAMFest 2026: ARTS in Health\nARTS By The People and Fairleigh Dickinson University presents WAMFest 2026: ARTS in Health; a two-day festival of creative workshops and performances designed to engage Nursing\, Psychology\, and Allied Health students at Fairleigh Dickinson University as well as regional health workers\, while encouraging collaboration with the university’s Arts\, Communication\, and Humanities programs. \nAs New Jersey’s premier event at the intersection of arts and health\, ARTS in Health\, WAMFest celebrates how the arts foster skills — such as creativity\, adaptability\, empathy\, curiosity\, attention to detail\, and communication — that are essential to the field of healthcare. However\, sessions will also invite healthcare students and workers to build community\, process and express job-related stress\, and expand focus and imagination. In other words\, WAMFest 2026: Arts In Health takes a holistic approach to wellness. When those who steward the well-being of others take care of themselves\, they are better equipped for their work. \n\n\nAll workshops are open to the public and barrier free. \n\n\nIf you need assistance\, please reach out to us at info@artsbythepeople.org with questions and accessibility needs. \n\n\nFestival schedule is subject to change.
