"Blooming Life" Global Healing Art Contest and Online Exhibition

A spring of vitality, a summer of vibrance. Once all things in the world are given life, they have the right to grow. How to grow healthily depends on each individual, and individual growth depends on their acquired understanding of the environment. This is precisely the essence of art therapy advocated by International Art Education & Therapy Development Academic Association, allowing every living entity to have the energy to bloom; just as various flowers in the summer garden are blooming at this moment. Therefore, we regard the blooming of life as an instinct to live true to ourselves.

The International Society for the Development of Art Education and Therapy invites artists with different expressions (painters, poets, dancers, playwrights, etc.) to showcase the most authentic blooming of life in their unique ways, thus awakening everyone's instinct to express and love. Life is so beautiful.

Life is as brilliant as summer flowers, death as fruitful as autumn day. Everyone should have a brilliant and exciting life. Just this summer, let's use our unique expression to bloom together in a colorful life!
