"the power of art in storytelling and rituals." Yupper's
When I'm crisis counseling I keep reinforcing the importance of sharing. Of pulling those looping suffocating thoughts out so they can be seen. One of my go to's is 'Words shared are words not left inside like marbles in a tin coffee can just banging around. Shared written, drawn, sung, danced they become 3D to unfold so we may reflect and be enlighten'. This sharing in any form helps us move forward and helps others see us.
You make the point of visiting a gallery. Excellent. From my narrow perspective it strikes me that when we view art, no matter the form, we are engaging with the creator. We are connected to them. There art will seep into us and become a proxy for the artist and their message. The art may be come integrated into our person and change us in subtle ways.
Creating, I know from my grief journey, my reading, and writing those small acts of creating over time untangled my pain and brought light into my being.

Thank you Ben, you are spot on the use of the arts and the creative community in storytelling.
