CREATING A SUPPORTIVE ART EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN,TEENS AND ADULTS

Our mission is to use art as a means for individuals and their caregivers to express emotions, find solutions, and develop healthy relationships. Through our grant-funded program, we provide art support groups and empower participants to build connections and develop leadership skills. Research shows that art inspires hope, facilitates safety, creates connections, and strengthens self-efficacy and resilience. Join us to learn coping strategies, experience personal growth, and engage in self-reflection through the power of art.
