The world is facing a loneliness epidemic. Studies show chronic loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Governments are searching for solutions.
But here’s the truth: loneliness is very hard to fight, unless we create more spaces for genuine connection.
And this is where artists come in.
Selling art is beautiful, but selling workshops is transformative.
You give people a space to belong.
You let them do something together.
You create community around creativity.
The European craft & hobby market is worth hundreds of billions. Artists only need the tiniest slice of it to move from Jobcenter poverty or corporate burnout to stability and joy.
But more importantly, you help solve one of society’s deepest problems: isolation.
👉 Artists: stop hustling only to sell your work. Start creating spaces where others can discover their own creativity. That’s how you change lives, including your own.
