Artful Rx

The Science of Creativity and Wellness

Research consistently demonstrates the profound impact of artistic expression on mental health and overall well-being:

• A 2022 study in the Journal of Applied Arts & Health found that just 45 minutes of art-making can significantly reduce cortisol levels and decrease stress.
• Neuroscience reveals that creative activities activate the brain's reward pathways, releasing dopamine and promoting emotional regulation.
• ​Art therapy has been shown to improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance cognitive function across diverse populations. NOTE: Although this is not an art therapy session, it is very therapeutic!
