What is the connection between art and corporate wellness?

Studies have shown that creating art positively impacts the mind & body in a number of ways. In terms of employees, incorporating a creative break during the day has shown to increase employee retention, lower stress, increase productivity levels & increase team bonding. With years of experience facilitating arts based events in the corporate world, I can attest to the differences seen in employees after they spend time participating in a creative activity.

I offer several different corporate wellness activities that can be done with your employees. I usually offer a short presentation on the benefits of arts in health, and then have a hands on activity for everyone to participate in.

Each art activity can be done individually where everyone can take home their own piece OR can be done as a group to create a larger community art piece for your organization (think of either everyone working on a silk painting together or everyone creating their own mindful drawing piece that is then put together to form a group piece that can then be framed to put up in the office.) However it is done, your employees will positively benefit from the experience.

We will decide ahead of time the art project and whether or not you would like it to be a group project or an individual project & whether you’d like it to be for stress relief & relaxation or team bonding. Usually if a project is done as a mindful meditation, we work on our pieces silently with music playing in the background whereas with the team building/bonding experience employees can talk amongst themselves and get to know each other better.
