From the Millicent Rogers Museum:

Community wellness is everybody’s business.

How do we care for each other during challenging circumstances and what are some of the ways we measure community wellness? It begins with dialogue. Museums are places where dialogue can foster community wellness through arts and culture. Museums can expand the use of resources and public spaces to engage in community- wide efforts that support vitality. We can seek intersections of outreach with other nonprofit organizations to strengthen community responsiveness. Join us for this first museum conversation with guests from impactful organizations concerned with community wellness.
