Health Sciences Arts Advisory Board

The Health Sciences Arts Advisory Board (HSAAB) is an interprofessional student organization that exists to inspire and enable members of our community to engage with art and with each other, while highlighting the impactful ways that art and science inform one another.

HSAAB provides oversight, planning, programming, and art exhibitions for the Community Arts @ Health Sciences initiative.

First organized in Fall 2023, HSAAB has helped the curation and installation of multiple art exhibitions and have planned and facilitated multiple community-building events. HSAAB looks forward to expanding art mediums and offering more art-related programming throughout the Twin Cities in the years to come.

If you are a faculty or staff member and have an interest in being part of this initiative, please consider joining. No experience in the arts is necessary - whether you're an artist or a supporter of the arts, all are welcome!
