Arts & Health Mercer Opening Celebration

The first Arts & Health Mercer Opening Celebration will be held on Saturday November 4, 2023, featuring interactive workshops, a keynote speaker, a vendor alley, and special reception. This free festival is a kickoff for the month-long initiative celebrating the many ways in which the arts and humanities are integral to the health of individuals and communities.

A coalition of organizations have come together to amplify the effort, including West Windsor Arts, Princeton Public Library, Princeton University Museum of Art, McCarter Theatre, Art Against Racism, Arts Council of Princeton, Morven Museum, and the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, and many more.

At the Opening Celebration, interactive workshops for all ages will present art as a reflective moment of discovery and insight. The keynote speaker, Christina D. Eskridge, MPH is both a public health professional and an artist who will provide an inspiring keynote exploring how the arts promote health and wellbeing. A “vendor alley” will provide access to businesses who promote a holistic approach to health, and a reception for organizations, sponsors, and the press will celebrate the designation of November as Arts & Health month.
