2020 has been a difficult kind of year. Artists have responded to various crises by making art at home, isolating in their studios, or creating art on the street. There has been no shortage of artistic expression, most would say it has been therapeutic. While the world is changing, making art is something you can control, and for an artist it is self-care. The process of creating art can reduce stress, ease anxiety, and provide healing in hard times. For the online juried exhibition “One in a Year”, submit one work that reflects how you have used art as a tool to explore, develop and practice creativity as a means to wellness, specifically during 2020.
