Benefits
Each of the component parts of art activities can trigger psychological, physiological, social, and behavioral responses that are themselves causally linked with health outcomes. For example:
• The aesthetic and emotional components of art activities can provide opportunities for emotional expression, emotion regulation, and stress reduction. Emotion regulation is intrinsic to how we manage our mental health, while stress is a well-known risk factor for the onset and/or progression of a range of health conditions including cardiovascular diseases and cancers.
• Cognitive stimulation when engaging in the arts can provide opportunities for learning and skills development, and it is not only associated with a lower risk of developing dementia but also interrelated with mental illness such as depression
• Social interaction while participating in the arts can reduce loneliness and lack of social support, which are both linked with adverse physiological responses, cognitive decline, functional and motor decline, mental illness, and premature
mortality.
• Social interaction that brings together different groups of people can improve social capital and reduce discrimination, the latter being linked with mental illness and a range of other health conditions including CVD, respiratory conditions, and indicators of illness such as pain and headaches
