Fantastic Community Resource!


The Community's Studio, Where Art is Making a Difference!

Our specialized programming is art therapy based, where creativity is used in working toward specific goals. Participants develop an appreciation for the value and enjoyment practicing the arts bring to their lives. Experienced art therapists work with adults and youth who are in recovery from mental illness and substance use, those who have developmental disabilities, those who have cognitive or physical impairment, and children who are at-risk due to socioeconomic circumstances. Participants become more self-aware, learn how to express emotions in a safe manner, build self-esteem and identity, along with learning skills to develop healthy social relationships and coping techniques.
