Our programs uphold this mission by providing opportunities to quality visual arts learning, serving a multitude of demographics to enable self-expression, skill building, and personal growth. Our Art and Healing partnerships with social service organizations gives arts opportunities to marginalized and vulnerable communities who otherwise would not have access to creative experiences. In addition to our occasional artist-residencies in the schools throughout the Metro area, we have ongoing partnerships in Minneapolis Public Schools with a number of local after school programs - sometimes being the only arts learning students receive. We are also presently partnering with People Serving People Shelter, specifically giving teens an opportunity for a creative outlet.
