In Australia, all state and national galleries are free of charge. Many museums too. It's great to know that there are places you can go to be among people, in beautiful spaces without having to spend too much money.
Our museuams are free here in Wales, UK too. :)
Yeah we get “taxed” so it’s not free.
I always come out of museums feeling inspired. :)
Ironic, I've been creating art for 30 years and I'm still depressed. Bless any patrons that gain some peace from the work of others. Being honest here, a big part of it is focused stimuli in a controlled environment. Humans will always feel less anxious in places their minds can wend, wind and wander.
Great works of art, and other great accomplishments of outstanding individuals, can be incredibly inspiring and uplift the spirit. I think a key aspect of it is that it takes people out of their constant existential fears, concerns about money, and pressure to 'fit in' as a cogwheel of society.
What therapy! ❤️❤️❤️ Brilliant!!!
Nice piece well done
Nothing gets me anymore.
Can art cure a broken legs? Depression is a serious health condition.
yes, i think there is something to this 'inflammation' theory.
Yes, prosthetic legs art :)
I don't think it has anything to do with the art. I think it's more of the act of going out to do something, anything to help yourself that relieves depression. I find museums themselves to be depressing. A walk in nature would be much more powerful for me.
Depression is the effects of the modern society.
Yes, with atomization, cruelty, competition, lack of community and dearth of meaning, if it isn't the shutting-down of depression it is the torture of constant anxiety without hope of ever escaping...

Imagine going to a museum with depression to watch climate activists throw soup.
If it lifts you up... 🤷♂
It would just be part of the whole experience, but also dramatic, thrilling and alive!
As an empathetic, feminine and liberal minded progressive German I'm proud about not having a country, people or borders of my own. Not only am I unable to properly define what a German looks like but I also can't define what a woman is. It makes me feel virtuous and morally superior over everyone else and in my head I tell myself that my thinking is natural and normal globally.
An obvious joke that a German news source doesn't mention a certain depressed Austrian artist with an interesting mustache and what he did to get out of depression. 🧐
He wasn't a very good artist or military leader.
It seems to me that much of what passes for art nowadays would produce depression, not cure it.
Can I borrow some vinegar?
❤️❤️❤️
A walk in the park, hiking, eating yummy food, and getting laid makes me feel real good!
Art does not “cure” depression.
But the act of going out to do something about depression can help a lot. Whether it's going to a museum, or hiking in the woods. Being proactive itself is medicine.
No but nothing a good kick up the hole can't fix 😂
no, depression is a spirit. only Jesus Christ can heal you from this. i testify.
Religion is one of the reasons I am depressed. You people make the world suck.
Jesus is what Society needs to heal them
Religion is one of the reasons I am depressed. You people make the world suck.
We need to be firm & stable in our connection w/God & other people so we can 🙏 into things without our own problems getting in the way.
His Presence is what you want, not results. Results happen in the Presence.
God IS creative, don’t limit Him to one way of communicating w/you.
