Art is a Healer by Stephanie Galloway

It is important for the well-being of society to have positive outlets of expression. Art gives people a way to process their emotions and experiences and share them with others in a manner that makes them feel like they are part of that society.

When people make and share art in a public space they are having the opportunity to be contributing members of the town they live in.  When a person feels like they get to actively participate in their community through art it breaks through feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Sharing art through Free Art Friday can be a healthy outlet for sharing your art and being an active member of your community whose voice is heard with vivid colors! Find some more of my Free Art Friday Albuquerque articles here. Thank you for supporting local arts!
