What we’re about
Paint Through the Panic
Art made for the moments you can’t explain.
What This Group Is
Paint Through the Panic is a creative collective for anyone who finds therapy in a brushstroke, comfort in chaos, or a safe space in spilling emotion onto canvas. Whether you're sketching in a notebook or finger-painting on a wall at 3AM—if it helps you breathe, you're in the right place.
We're not here to be fancy, competitive, or polished. We're here to make art that helps us feel—raw, messy, honest. You don’t have to be “good” at it. You just have to show up.
The Vibe
Low-pressure, high-support
Mental health friendly
Creative expression without judgment
A place to feel seen, not sold to
Core Rules (aka “The Paint Pact”)
1. Respect is non-negotiable.
We support each other. No hate, no bullying, no toxic crap. Ever. Mental illness isn’t a punchline here—it's a shared understanding.
2. Art = Expression, Not Competition.
Don’t critique unless someone asks for feedback. This isn’t art school. It’s a living room.
3. Share What’s Real.
Post your wins, your breakdowns, your scribbles—whatever helps you process the world. Don’t perform. Just be real.
4. Privacy = Safety.
What’s shared here stays here. This is a no-leak zone. We protect each other’s vulnerability.
5. Zero Pressure Participation.
You can post every day or once a year. You don’t need to “stay active” to belong.
