Art-A-Whirl (and the benefits of viewing art)

I have had an office in Northeast Minneapolis since I started my Rolfing® Structural Integration practice. It's a great neighborhood! Next weekend (May 17-19) is Art-A-Whirl in NE. It's a wonderful opportunity to see and support local artists and enjoy all that NE has to offer! Visit https://nemaa.org/ for more information.

Viewing art has many benefits, according to research. In an article from Discover magazine, I learned:

“Various studies have shown that viewing art can heighten our mood, reduce anxiety and stress, and increase our overall sense of wellness and contentment,” says Vollmann. “We might also experience decreased loneliness after a museum or gallery visit because they provide a space for social engagement.”  

Minnesota is blessed with many excellent museums, ranging from county-run to large institutions, along with galleries. Many of them are listed on Explore Minnesota.
