Why society needs art most during economic hardship

Sponsored by Reflection of the GreenLeaf

Chronic financial strain can have a significant impact on mental health, making accessible and cost-effective resources more important than ever. Historically, engagement with the arts has proved to be one of the most enduring and sustainable therapeutic resources.

Through Art Avenue, its community arts initiative, Reflection of the GreenLeaf brings together community development, mental health and the arts. The program creates opportunities for local artists while providing immersive experiences that can serve as coping mechanisms for symptoms of depression and anxiety.
