24.01.2022 ? A simple question that is sometimes forgotten, but can mean everything to someone if we remember to ask. This is our national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK? We hope that this day helps to inspire others to connect with those around them so we can better help people through lifes ups & downs. ... As a way to support this day, wed love to share some messages from some of our incredible customers who are brave enough to share about their anxiety & stress, as they use art as a way of coping. Thank you to all of you for sharing! @sissijean - Art is my creative escape. It helps me relax and deal with lifes stresses. @inspiring.aimee - Art matters to me because it helps when things pile on top and anxieties run high. Sometimes you need to turn off and I turn to art. Thats why I plan to make it my career. @keirayvette - @eckersleys art is my escape, its my therapy to keep my mental health in check. @briartworld - Art allows me to relieve stress from my year 12 school work and helps me concentrate on being patient.
