Explore the Gregg Museum’s collection through the lens of Neuro-arts. Immerse yourself in meditation, drawing and sound activities while viewing artworks that punctuate the impact of art on sensory experiences and holistic well-being. 

Your Brain on Art: Reimagining the Gregg Museum Collection punctuates the phenomenal findings in Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross’s best-selling book, Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us, which is changing the field of Neurosciences, Wellness and the Arts. Visitors will embark on a transformative journey through the Gregg Museum’s collection, guided by the quotes from the book.  

This exploratory exhibition will engage visitors of all ages to map their senses and thoughts on the power of art across expressions, including painting, collage, photography, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, sound art, and more. Notably, doctors are now prescribing museum visits to address a range of issues, from loneliness to dementia. Visitors can join our mindfulness drawing lab and sound station inside the gallery designed by the Gregg Museum’s education team, as well as enter a raffle at the Visitor Services desk to win a free, Your Brain on Art, book.

On exhibit every Tuesday-Saturday through September 27, 2025
