When is a mural much more than a large painting on a wall? When it\u2019s paired with performance art\u2014such as music, drama, poetry or dance\u2014that can appear on your phone while you\u2019re looking at the mural. And when all those art forms are specifically chosen to help evoke positive, hopeful feelings, they can improve mental health.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]That is the essence of Murals in Mind<\/a>, a project begun recently by the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance<\/a>, a nonprofit organization that advocates, educates and supports the local creative community. \u201cArt reveals the beauty of life, which is especially important when we experience depression, anxiety, loneliness and stress,\u201d explains Terry Marks, Arts Alliance CEO and originator of the idea behind the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cMurals in Mind brings our community of artists together to support and uplift wellness for all, because art heals.

When SPAA officials were looking for a mental health expert to weigh in on their 12 selected SHINE Mural Festival murals in downtown St. Petersburg<\/a> as well as the performance art paired with them, they turned to Dickinson.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are programs at a variety of locations, usually in large cities, that look at arts and healing,\u201d Dickinson explains. \u201cThis is the first one I had seen that looks specifically at using murals within a community that are already established, and to connect that with other artistic forms \u2026 music, movement, poetry \u2026 with the intent to bring healing with them. That got me really excited. I had never seen that before.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]Dickinson says her role was \u201cto make sure the project isn\u2019t going to create harm in any way, that the exhibits were not going to be triggering.

It\u2019s about the story one might create from the image.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they picked the murals and the art or music or poetry that went with them, I gave them feedback and suggestions. Is this poem a good match for this piece of art or this piece of music? With music, you have to think about tempo and key. Music in a major key tends to have a more positive response, while music in a minor key can trigger a sad response.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working with people\u2019s feelings and emotions,\u201d Dickinson adds, \u201cand for a nontherapeutic organization to understand that from the beginning and seek out a consultant to be sure they\u2019re using art in a positive and safe way for healing is amazing. It\u2019s a turning point in my profession. I give huge credit to Tiffany Ford. She had worked previously with creative arts therapists, as well as Terry Marks, who recognized the need to have a consultant come in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford is SPAA\u2019s director of community advancement. She explains that SPAA was funded by the Community Foundation Tampa Bay<\/a> and Love IV Lawrenc<\/a>e initiatives to bring this mental health project to fruition. Viewers can stand in front of a mural or watch remotely and experience the merging of visual and performance art through a QR code or by using PixelStix technology on their smartphones. Videos can also be viewed on a tablet or desktop.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”48″ bottom_padding=”64″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”10341″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”Fade In” animation_easing=”default” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text]One of St. Petersburg’s colorful downtown murals<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Ford notes that SPAA recognizes that Murals in Mind doesn\u2019t serve as therapy, but when someone is having a particularly difficult day, sometimes reading, listening to music or absorbing art allows them to alter their mood or their emotion toward the positive. \u201cIt\u2019s not a complex idea,\u201d she adds. \u201cBut it\u2019s something that is a growing need.\u201d<\/p>\n

SPAA\u2019s website points out that according to the Florida Department of Health, more than 407,000 Floridians were hospitalized in 2019 for mental\/behavioral health disorders. Pinellas County alone had nearly 1,500 people who attempted suicide, with about 15% of those attempts resulting in death. In addition, more than 23,000 people in Pinellas County were hospitalized for behavioral and mental health issues that year.<\/p>\n

But St. Petersburg is fortunate, Dickinson notes, to be home to SPAA, a large arts community, and dozens of small-business owners who are open to having their buildings showcase artwork. \u201cYou don\u2019t see that in a lot of cities,\u201d Dickinson adds. \u201cThere\u2019s a community here that appreciates art and the message of art.
