The document outlines the 'How Art Works' project, which comprises three phases focused on understanding the impact of art on individuals and communities through systematic mapping and evaluation. It details the completion of 45 interviews, a literature review, and the construction of a systems map to connect 'art' and 'quality of life'. The Oakland workshop aimed to engage participants in refining the understanding of these connections while identifying key factors influencing the relationship.
