Why give?
Art for All’s mission is to bring the joy of art and belonging to people of all abilities and circumstances. We are dedicated to improving the mental health and wellbeing of our community members through the transformative power of art.
With loneliness, disconnection and mental health challenges on the rise, places of belonging like Art for All, and our community building workshops and events are more important than ever.
“Art binds people to place and to each other.”
Alberto Ibarguen, President of the Knight Foundation
What did we do in 2024?
We have had an amazing year at Art for All! We acquired our official status as a 501c3 nonprofit and continued to realize our vision “To provide a creative home for the community where all feel welcomed”.
While contributing to the wellbeing of individuals and the community has been fundamental to our mission, rising levels of loneliness and chronic stress have inspired us to make mental health more of a focus of our efforts. It is a privilege and a joy to be able to address these issues by bringing people together to create and connect.
What’s happening in 2025?
Looking ahead, we’re expanding our initiatives to meet the growing need for mental wellness through creative expression. Programs like *Art and Your Brain* highlight the neurological benefits of art engagement. Our workshops are tailored to help alleviate stress, loneliness, and isolation. We believe that connection is the cure.
Our special program, Art for All Abilities, brings the joy of art to those with cognitive and developmental disabilities and is part of the plan to further broaden access to art for mental well-being in 2025. With Sarah Moore, a new member on our team dedicated to developing programs for high school students, we look forward to having a greater impact on youth, a group that is at especially high risk of mental health crisis.
Our ambitious vision includes expanding the volunteer staff to help run the studio and offering even more community-led workshops and collaborative projects.
