At Awakening Minds Art, we believe that art can benefit everyone and that it should be accessible to all!

Our Mission is to provide therapeutic and educational visual art programs for all ages & all abilities

Five years ago, John began to make art at Awakening Minds Art. Since then, John is STRONGER because he continues to develop stronger life skills by nurturing his creative mind in a supportive environment.
​
John has better communication and socialization skills
​
He shows more sustained focus

Pride in his artwork sparks
​confidence & independence

By making decisions while painting, John practices accepting change and challenges in the real world.

Choosing subject matter for a painting is a great way to express interests & memories

“John sometimes struggles to express himself emotionally, but I see his feelings expressed for those around him through his [subject] selections, attention to detail, and the repetition of subject matter,” says Ms. Megan, his AMA instructor
