The Transformative Power of Art

Bonnie Pitman presents a lecture on discoveries from her tenure as Director of the Dallas Museum of Art in engaging audiences with the museum and its collections, her recent work at the University of Texas at Dallas’s Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History where she developed interdisciplinary art and medicine programs, and her continuing partnership with the UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth to research the neuroscience of observation, innovation, creativity, and her Do Something New™ Practice.

A conversation with Dr. Michael Thomas, Director of the Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History and the Richard R. Brettell Distinguished University Chair, further explores her ideas for engaging audiences in art and neuroscience, medicine, and technology.
