I admit I used Chat GPT to explore art themes around laughter, joy and health. It came up with exactly what I desired our theme to convey:
"The Joyful Canvas" celebrates laughter as a powerful and transformative force that transcends boundaries, bringing people together, and enriching their lives with happiness and well-being. It encourages artists and viewers alike to embrace the lighter side of life, find solace in humor, and appreciate the profound impact that laughter can have on our mental, emotional, and physical states."
Laughter is not simply a fleeting moment of amusement. It is a profound source of healing, connection and positivity.
