Make art, change the world

Art has the power to bring change

Making art is good for your physical and mental health. It is known of improving your resilience and reducing your stress hormones. In a world full of people who think art is luxury, art is resistance. The mere act of making art is itself rebellious. Art has no rules and it helps you to express yourself. It provokes emotions and conversations. Making art can help to fight norms and abolish boundaries. I'd like to help you resist conformity and make more art with this growing collection of resources.
