Every one of us is born with the desire and ability to express ourselves, and art is a wonderful way to achieve this, especially for our mental health and wellness. The relationship between the arts and mental health is well established through research over the years and the benefits creating aren't dependent on a person's skill or talents. We believe that it is the process, not the product that is important. 

Engaging in arts, social activities and interaction within our communities can help with major challenges such as ageing and loneliness. It can help to boost confidence and make us feel more engaged and resilient. Besides these benefits, art engagement also alleviates anxiety, depression and stress. Getting involved with the arts can have powerful and lasting effects on health. It can help to protect against a range of mental health conditions, help manage mental ill-health and support recovery
