Byrd Health Sciences CenterThe Art Therapy and Music Therapy programs at West Virginia University invite students, faculty and staff to take a creative break and explore the healing power of the arts during Art at the Pylons, taking place on Monday April 6, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Held under the iconic Health Sciences pylons, this interactive event offers attendees the opportunity to express their creativity through mini canvas painting, collage-making, and instrument exploration. Participants will also learn about the therapeutic benefits of art and music in supporting mental health and emotional well-being.

No prior art or music experience is necessary—just a willingness to explore the creative process and have fun.

Art at the Pylons is part of WVU’s celebration of Interprofessional Education (IPE) Month, which brings together members of the Health Sciences community for collaborative, hands-on learning experiences that emphasize wellness, communication, and teamwork.

Whether you’re looking to de-stress, recharge, grab a snack, or simply try something different, stop by and let your creativity flow.

Barry: Science, Storytelling and the Public GoodSponsored by WVU Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, WVU School of Public Health, and WVU Reed School of Media Public Interest Communications Research Laboratory

Join us for a conversation with John M. Barry, award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author and historian, on the power of storytelling to shape public understanding, policy, and how science is understood in public life. Drawing on both his scholarship and direct involvement at the intersection of science, government, and society, we will explore how narrative can strengthen public trust in institutions.

As a land-grant institution, our mission calls us not only to generate knowledge but also to share it widely to our communities. Together, we will consider how the humanities and sciences can work together to promote informed dialogues, a core principle of the land-grant tradition.

Barry is the author of numerous acclaimed books, including Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America, named the year's best book on American history by the Society of American Historians, and The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History, which the National Academies of Sciences named the year's best book on science or medicine. His writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Fortune, The Washington Post, Esquire, and elsewhere, and he has been a guest on every broadcast network in the U.S., from Fox to Meet the Press and MSNBC and internationally from Singapore to Germany. Register to attend.​​​​​​
