Arts & Wellbeing at the Kennedy Center is an expanded focus of the cross section of science and art.

A conflux is the place where two flowing rivers meet and become one. ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵÃâ·Ñ°æapp sits on a conflux where the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers meet. The Conflux program is a confluence of efforts where the Kennedy Center and a flagship national community partner – each with its distinct missions, values, and social impact objectives combine efforts. The result is a series of transformative programming that advances the field and maximizes our collective impact.
