🌟 How to Create Social Impact with Art: 🌟 Art has the power to not only reflect society but to transform it. As an artist, my journey has been about using my creativity to raise awareness, shift perspectives, and remind us all of our inherent ability to shape the world. Yet, it's not always clear how creatives can unite social impact with their work, so I’m excited to share my learning journey with you all—highlighting organizations that inspire me, collaborators who've supported co-learning, and everything in-between. 📢 Calling all brands and organizations: Let's collaborate to amplify social impact-focused art and drive meaningful change together. If you’re looking to align with an artist dedicated to making a difference, let’s connect and create something powerful! #SocialImpactArt #ArtistJourney #CollaborateForChange #ArtForAwareness #TransformativeArt 🔗 ryndelpapa.com

Creativity is a part of you. This past Sunday, a global audience from Australia to Texas explored that theme and more. I'm so grateful for everyone who attended this session; it certainly won't be the last. Let's talk if bringing inclusive arts-in-health workshops and programs is part of your 2025 organization goals. #Neurodiversity #MentalHealth #ArtsinHealth #Creativity

Your creativity is a power. Use it wisely, which is why we've joined the Clean Creatives movement of advertisers, PR professionals, and creatives choosing to work with clients beyond fossil fuels. There are alternative energy sources, and the narratives, creative campaigns, and advertisements we make impact the future we create today. https://lnkd.in/d3g2rz7 #CreateWithIntention #CleanCreatives #Sustainability #Creative

What do you love about your neurodiversity? This may be an instantaneous, easy answer or it could require some investigation. My goal is that by the end of tomorrow's workshop - it's an easy immediate answer. So let's see what an hour can do. Deal? And if you're passionate about accessibility for all minds, by participating in the workshop tomorrow, you can contribute to a 3-month research pilot study.

“The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together.” Carl Sagan knew the power of physics, science, philosophy, astronomy, and communication. Your brain and each part of you is a beautiful reflection of atoms uniquely defining you. Did I mention that space makes a spotlight in Reframing Neurodiversity to Creativity? Oh well, now you know. *space sparkly brain nerds unite* Sunday, January 5th at 1:00 pm CST: https://lu.ma/rd9a783q #HiddenTruthsProject #CreativeExpression #Neurodiversity #ArtsinHealth #MentalHealth #Creativity

Accessibility without intersectionality denies the diversity within our minds, genetics, communities, and societies. What kind of worlds are you living in? Yes, I said worlds. We can have our internal world, external world, and the spheres and social circles we engage with, which impact the cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual worlds we inhabit. Let's make our worlds filled with creativity, health, and inclusivity. Start 2025 inviting more of just that into your life, see you on the zooms on Sunday. https://lu.ma/rd9a783q #HiddenTruthsProject #CreativeExpression #Neurodiversity #ArtsinHealth #MentalHealth #Creativity #DEIA

Do you think in pictures, patterns, or abstractions? Then there's a book worth reading, Visual Thinking by Temple Grandin. In the book, she categorizes visual thinkers into two categories: - Object Visualizers generally see in pictures - Spatial Visualizers generally recognize patterns This is a book and person to learn about if you've ever wondered about your own neurodiversity. Book club anyone? There's quite a list of powerful reads worth checking out, including Dr. Stephanie Cawthon's recently released book Disability is Human. We're four days away from Reframing Neurodiversity to Creativity, so I'm just going to drop this here while you go to the bookstore. https://lu.ma/rd9a783q #CreativeExpression #Neurodiversity #ArtsinHealth #MentalHealth #Creativity #DEIA

Sometimes diversity feels like a loaded word, especially for those considered 'diverse'. As if they're a token or an example that progressiveness is happening. Or worse, they're the guinea pigs for a system that's glaringly inaccessible and inequitable and they're the ones 'championing' for the accommodations or access they desperately need. (*we're still there*) I want to challenge us to think, envision, and create an accessible-first culture. We're not a monoculture, that's for Petri dishes. We're the most interconnected humanity has ever been which also means we have more access to knowledge, cultures, and intercultural, intergenerational, and intersectional awareness. Let's celebrate our diversity because it's not going anywhere. Join me on January 5th, especially if you're neurodiverse, neurospicy, disabled, or just feeling like joining the fun for learning more about our minds and creativity. Let's start 2025 - loud, proud, and taking up space. From one sparkly brain to another. https://lu.ma/rd9a783q #HiddenTruthsProject #Accessibility #Neurodiversity #ArtsinHealth #Diversity #MentalHealth #Creativity #IDEA

Art heals. It's a truth I personally know but also one rooted in the fields of neuroaesthetics, creative art therapies, art therapy, music therapy, and arts-in-health research. Art for health isn't new; we're just young in our research endeavors. 1998 was the year neuroaesthetics was formally defined by Semir Zeki "as the scientific study of the neural bases for the contemplation and creation of a work of art." So I'm inviting you to both learn how art can positively impact your health, and to contribute to research for the advancement of this field, particularly for the disabled community.
