In 2026, the conference will focus on the ways in which the arts and active participation in artistic activities support mental health, quality of life, and all-around human flourishing. Here, we understand the concept of human flourishing as the ability of individuals and communities to develop their potential, form meaningful relationships, actively participate in social and cultural life, and lead fulfilling lives. 

The conference is intended for representatives of cultural and educational institutions and libraries, therapists, artists, educators, students of the arts and medical fields, as well as individuals interested in the topic of prevention through art. 

Organized by the Benedikt Rejt Gallery in Louny in professional collaboration with the Center for Advanced Studies of the Brain and Consciousness at the National Institute of Mental Health, in organizational cooperation with the National Library of the Czech Republic, with financial support from the Ústí nad Labem Region and the Council of Galleries of the Czech Republic.
