This is Why Your Art Stresses You Out: Artists & Mental Health

This video explains how to deal with mental health as an artist, a complex challenge that most artists struggle with regularly. Tips are given for how to keep your art as a positive practice that can help you rather than hurt you. There are unfortunately so many situations where artists are facing an uphill battle: the constant rejection from galleries/exhibitions, how social media can impact you negatively, and more. RISD Adjunct Professor Clara Lieu and Art Prof Teaching Artist Alex Rowe
