Athletes and the Arts – Integrating the Science of Sports Medicine into the World of Performing Arts
This special event will feature members of the national Athletes and the Arts coalition and local performing artists who will talk about ongoing efforts to integrate relevant sports medicine and wellness science into the underserved world of performing artists. The performing artist and the sport athletes face similar and unique challenges as they strive to optimize performance while maintaining physical and mental health. Come learn what these challenges are and how Athletes and the Arts and YOU can help maintain the health of our performing artists.
City of Boston Chief of Arts and Culture, Julie Burros, will be moderating this discussion.
Presented in partnership with City of Boston Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture. Special thanks to the Boston Public Library for hosting the event, to the Boston Dance Alliance, the Boston Musicians Association, and the Massachusetts Artists Leaders Coalition (MALC) for their help with outreach.
