We often talk about how the arts feel good, but what if they could benefit our health?

In this episode, we sit down with Aly Maier Lokuta, Assistant Vice President of Arts & Well-Being at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), to explore how creative expression is being used to improve mental, physical, and social health across New Jersey.
