About Art is The Cure and Mental Health Awareness
Simmons is one of the NFT artists who advocates the importance of mental health. He said: “Art saved my life when I was younger. I have struggled with depression and I have Asperger Syndrome. I see the world differently. Art was always a thing that connected me to the world. It allowed me to communicate.”
In 2008, he launched Art Is The Cure to inspire people and promote creative therapy as a release. Through the Art Is The Cure Discord server, Simmons creates a community of gallery-quality artists looking to show their talent into the world of NFTs.
He added: “From the start, I’ve wanted to be able to give something back. By creating a community of artists, we can support each other’s work and use NFTs to do good. I hope it will also encourage other artists to use the success of their NFTs to support good causes.”
Hopefully, we see more NFT more artists share their stories about mental health in the future and be a channel of support to those who need help in the community.
