The Mere Act of Viewing Art Can Release Dopamine and Endorphins

You may have noticed that after your last trip to the art gallery that you felt better. Your mood was elevated and perhaps there may have even been a little spring in your step. You didn’t imagine that. It seems that exposure to art is great for the health of your brain.  The mere act of viewing art can release dopamine and endorphins—the same chemical response as falling in love. Perhaps it’s time to release those feel-good hormones in your own space.

Yes, it’s true. You needn’t go anywhere near a gallery to still appreciate art. Thanks to Fine Art America, you can bring those pieces to you. They cater to all tastes, from those who love the richness of the Old Masters to those who prefer the modern abstractions of current day designers, from those who appreciate wildlife photography to those who derive joy from the whimsical, and pretty much everything in between. You will be enthralled to discover the works of hundreds of thousands of independent artists.

From posters to paintings, framed prints, and canvas prints, you can shop for wall art by room, theme, medium, product type, and/or color palette.
