Reduce Stress with Digital Art

Art isn’t just aesthetically beautiful. It can help to reduce stress, relieve symptoms and anxiety and depression, and even improve memory.

Creating art has been shown to be therapeutic, as the creative process itself promotes well-being. Then, there’s the act of viewing paintings, murals, sculptures and other types of media that come from creative expression. When we appreciate art, we get an increase of dopamine that improves our mental health.

There’s an established connection between art and healing. Studies have shown that environments featuring nature scenes have actually been shown to reduce stress and healing in patients. This is why hospitals, doctors offices and long-term care facilities have chosen to incorporate artwork throughout their buildings. There’s normally a budget allocated to physical pieces of art.

But what happens when you want to change things up? If you have digital building signage, you can easily change your backgrounds to include curated art from local artists. You can change them as often as you like – per month, or even per season.
