My art college trained brain equated artistic success with "looking like a professional artist," with frequent shows, sales, and all the trappings. Maybe there is something more meaningful to be found in the bare bones process itself. Arts and Healing Network offers a variety of interesting resources for artists including art challenges, information about classes and workshops, grant opportunities, and more. Art as therapy (physical and mental) is certainly not a new concept, but for me focusing on artmaking as a way to feel better, every day, is.
