Art Equals Blue Together

Art Equals, a non-profit organization that empowers everyone to be an artist by providing community-driven accessible opportunities for creative growth and healing, is bringing the local community together to celebrate mental health awareness month with its Blue Together event. Combining Mental Health Month with Art Equals’ Indigo Dye Parties, Blue Together celebrates creativity in support of mental health wellness. Science continues to reveal encouraging evidence about the mental health benefits of creativity. Being creative can increase positive emotions, reduce depressive symptoms and anxiety, and improve the function of our immune systems. Blue Together will host local creators while local mental health resources will be on hand to offer information about services and support. Art Equals will also host their first dye party of the season at the Blue Together event, where attendees can bring their cotton tees to create unique designs. There will also be a full schedule of events of creatively focused wellness activities.
