A very warm welcome to you all here in the Arts and Mental Wellbeing section. All of us will be feeling levels of fear, anxiety and worry; for ourselves, parents, children, families, friends, for people in our community, for those who are vulnerable, and alone; and to be honest, this list can go on and on. To acknowledge this, the BBC have launched a range of arts programming and virtual tours during these challenging times: www.bbc.co.uk/arts
We hope it really helps you to feel more connected with the powerful resources of art and nature.
We already know there is a strong relationship between the arts and mental health and wellbeing; here is a wonderful link to check out, and see if there is anything that will suit you (www.mentalhealth.org.uk/blog/how-arts-can-help-improve-your-mental-health).
We have some absolutely beautiful images here from Alicia Hendrick; they just really show the powerful positive effect, of taking time to just look at these pictures for a few minutes can have. We’ll be adding more to this page over the coming weeks.
