Key data points

At one Asphalt Art project in Cincinnati, Ohio, murals tripled driver
compliance with stop signs. At another in Tallahassee, Florida, colorful
crosswalks doubled the percentage of walkers choosing that route.Now, 25 new

Canada

In New York City, only 8% of streets have dedicated bike lanes. A recent
study found an unexpected solution to improve road safety
<[link removed]> in cities around the world:

25 Cities Win Asphalt Art Initiative Grants
<[link removed]>

The Asphalt Art Initiative has added color and energy to streets and
intersections around the world (see some of the Before and After
transformations here <[link removed]>). Bringing
public art to those shared roads has also made them safer for walkers, bikers,
and drivers who use them every day. Last week we announced 25 cities in the
U.S., Canada, and Mexico that will receive grants for Asphalt Art installations
that use design to improve street safety, bringing the total number of projects
to 90 since 2020.Find out which cities will receive grants, and how their
projects will improve safety for their residents

Can Visiting a Museum or Joining a Choir Benefit Your Health?
<[link removed]>

<[link removed]>
"Someday soon, in addition to prescribing medication or therapy, doctors may
begin directing patients to visit a museum or join a choir," writes David
Andersson from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Arts team. "The growing practice of

health and wellbeing by connecting them to a range of nonclinical services,

indications that "prescribing" cultural experiences can help patients improve
outcomes.
