Art Inspired

ArtWorks inspires hope and promotes healing in children who have faced the challenges of poverty, abuse, homelessness, or other traumatic experiences. In ArtWorks classes children learn to creatively express themselves in a variety of art mediums. Projects are designed to encourage introspective thought and healing, enhance cultural pride, and build self-esteem.

Field trips to arts venues opens children’s minds to new and exciting possibilities. Through community exhibits, ArtWorks provides a personal connection between these often, isolated children and the general public, giving the children a desperately needed presence and voice, a voice that educates and advocates in an honest and powerful way for themselves and other children facing similar circumstances.
