The Case for Creativity:

Evidence-based findings across disciplines

As we navigate times of rapid change, growing isolation, and spiritual disconnection, creativity is needed now more than ever.

Research shows that creativity plays a critical role in health promotion, spiritual connection, and business outcomes.

BUSINESS AND CREATIVITY

HEALTH AND CREATIVITY

“20 minutes of art is as good as a full night’s sleep. You don’t have to be good at the arts to have great benefit.”

— Susan Magsamen, author of Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us, founder of International Arts + Mind Lab, at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine

SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVITY

“People who nurture personal spirituality enjoy, ‘less depression, anxiety, and substance abuse; and more positive psychological traits such as grit, resilience, optimism, tenacity, and creativity.’”

— Dr. Lisa Jane Miller, Founder of the Spirituality, Mind, Body Institute at Columbia Teachers College
