It can be hard to make the time for the arts, especially during the pandemic, but having a creative outlet can benefit both your physical and mental health. From dance, to painting, to music, art can lead to positive changes and build lasting connections. This International Artist Day, learn about the work these inspirational charities are doing and the lives they are helping to change as the pandemic stretches on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creative Kids<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Generous Support Helps Lewin Follow his Passion<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Creative-Kids-Lewin_innerblog-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43451 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Creative-Kids-Lewin_innerblog-01-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Creative-Kids-Lewin_innerblog-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Creative-Kids-Lewin_innerblog-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Creative-Kids-Lewin_innerblog-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/Creative-Kids-Lewin_innerblog-01.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leslie has always known what music meant to her eight-year-old son, Lewin.

Despite in-person gathering restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lewin is able to take piano lessons via Zoom with the Studio of Sarah Clark Gregory. Last Christmas, he played his favourite Christmas songs, recorded them, and sent them to his teacher for their online recital. He also shared the recorded video with his family members in the Philippines. \u201cIt was a wonderful experience for him as we got to upload it on YouTube for his dad and grandparents to watch,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leslie is grateful for the support of Creative Kids. \u201cIt is really a big help for me, especially during this pandemic,\u201d she says. \u201cYour kindness and support brought joy to my child.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more and make a donation in support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/creative-kids-canada-inc\/\">Creative Kids<\/a> today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National accessArts Centre<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Connecting Artists from a Distance<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/National-accessArts-Centre_innerblogimage-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-43453 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/National-accessArts-Centre_innerblogimage-01-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/National-accessArts-Centre_innerblogimage-01-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/National-accessArts-Centre_innerblogimage-01-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/National-accessArts-Centre_innerblogimage-01-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/media\/National-accessArts-Centre_innerblogimage-01.jpg 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isolation is a norm for many of our artists, even on the best of days, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during these difficult times, mental health and social isolation can be detrimental<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to us all<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Dance artists had to go from creating and performing in spaces that accommodate the creative process, to having to either create in unconventional spaces or not create at all. Many also lost performance bookings and jobs. This has impacted dancers\u2019 mental health and overall livelihood. Despite our world\u2019s standstill, the community was able to produce new opportunities for creative expression and connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world premiere of Mukuth\u00f4 this past August can truly attest to this. This work, which was co-presented by dance Immersion and Canadian Stage, brought together creatives Casimiro Nhussi and Pulga Muchochoma, two dancers of Mozambican heritage. Mukuth\u00f4 focused on the importance of connecting with our ancestors, a message that was well needed and received by the community during this time. This work was also one of the first live performances that many people had attended since lockdown; providing the audience with a much-needed sense of joy, relief, and socialization. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Audience members clapped, chanted, and danced along with the performers, expressing their delight at reconnecting with others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Learn more and make a donation in support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadahelps.org\/en\/charities\/dance-immersion\/\">Dance Immersion<\/a> today.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The relationship between art and well-being is nothing new.
