Creativity Is Good for the Soul

by Debra Gallagher

Why Art Is for Everyone

Art isn't just for children.

It's for anyone willing to create.

Whether you're five or eighty-five, creative activities help reduce stress, improve focus, build confidence, and encourage lifelong learning.

Why I Love Art

Some of my favorite memories are watching my daughters attend community art classes at VITA Art Center.

Those experiences nurtured creativity, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.

Today, I'm honored to serve on the Board of Directors for the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, where I see firsthand how art, music, theater, and dance bring people together.
