The World Art Day is celebrated each year on April 15 to help reinforce the links between artistic creations and society, encourage greater awareness of the diversity of artistic expressions, and highlight the contribution of artists to sustainable development.  Art has the power to transport us, inspire us, and even challenge us. But did you know that art can also be a powerful tool for improving your physical and mental health?

• Studies have shown that activities like painting, sculpting, and even playing music can improve your concentration and ability to retain information.
• When you immerse yourself in art, the brain releases dopamine which can lead to feelings of happiness, motivation, and a surge of creative inspiration.
• Art helps to reduce the level of stress hormones and can help your mind in relaxation.
• The creative process involved in art can provide a distraction from pain, promote emotional expression, and help individuals regain a sense of control.
• Art can be a powerful tool for self-expression, especially for those who struggle to articulate their feelings verbally.

Whether you're feeling stressed, anxious, or simply looking for a creative outlet, embracing art in any form can have a profound impact on your overall health and happiness.
