What Artists Really Need and the Story Behind Art for the Heart

Today’s episode is a little different. I’m taking you behind the scenes of Art for the Heart — what it is, why it began, how it has evolved over the years, and the thinking behind its newest chapter. I’m joined by the lovely Bec from Short and Sweet Art, who has seen Art for the Heart from both sides: first as a member, and now as someone who supports our community from the inside. In this conversation, we talk about what artists really need when they are trying to stay connected to their art, why creative community matters so much, and how Art for the Heart has grown into the warm, supportive space it is today. If you’ve ever felt like making art can be lonely, overwhelming, or hard to prioritise, this episode is for you. Full show notes and links available at https://www.permissiontopaint.co/blog...
