Really interesting to see how communities like March for the Arts bring creatives together — not just to advocate for better support and fair working conditions, but also to acknowledge the pressures artists face in their everyday work and lives. Creative work can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also come with challenges that contribute to the symptoms of stress and anxiety — from performance pressure to financial uncertainty and expectations around productivity. When we talk openly about these experiences alongside topics like collaboration, training, and wellbeing, it helps reduce isolation and creates space for stronger mental health support within the arts community. Thanks for encouraging this kind of discussion
