 The growing incidence of cognitive impairment and memory conditions has led to growing curiosity in non-pharmacological brain health interventions. The arts, which include the visual arts, music, dance, creative writing, and drama, provide a multidimensional, cognitive enhancement modality that is rich in meaning and experience. This paper explicates the neurobiology behind the expression and enhancement of memory, summarises the existing empirical data in normal and clinical groups, discusses therapeutic and communal practice implications, establishes the contemporary research issues, and lays out prospects. Findings highlight the possibility of implementing artistic interventions within the health and education infrastructure to support lifelong brain health and cognitive resilience.
