The Art of Community Care
Healing in Arts invites individuals of all ages to engage in fun creative play. With hands-on activities, we reinforce positive messages through color and multiform art. These flexible community projects can be adapted for all age groups under the guidance of our creative team in person or via online platforms. We also coach local facilitators on how to present hands-on exhibits and offer our art-in-a-box kits to encourage community connections.
Our Past Projects Inspire Future Programs
Our community care project, Color Me Orange—Color Me Kind, invited participants to live by the Golden Rule: “Treat everyone like a friend, including your enemies.” Individuals tied orange ribbons onto a mesh canvas representing their commitment to show kindness to others. If we follow the Golden Rule, we can change our world with love.
Team Building
Art Mysteries, a popular school workshop, challenges students in problem solving. For this 60-minute interactive workshop, students color small wooden tiles. Then, as a team, they compile the tiles like a puzzle. This workshop can be taught on location or by our Google Slides instruction that comes with supplies.

Global Citizenship
Open Hands is a workshop that encourages students to rethink their responsibilities as global citizens. This hands-on activity gives students an opportunity to trace their hands on a world map and answer this question: “How can you help make our world a better place?” The workshop can be taught on location or by our Google Slides instruction that comes with supplies.

Communal Projects
Let Love Grow shares the gift of art through the form of young trees, spreading beauty and joy while strengthening the health of the planet. By giving away saplings to students, we nurture green spaces and caring for our environment. The generative act of planting trees cultivates hope for future generations. This creative, communal project invites participants to let love grow in their lives.

Tile Mural
Stories celebrates the unique contribution of each individual within the larger community. For this collaborative project, participants paint their personal story on a wooden tile. As future students add a new tile, the wall collage continues to expand. This project emphasizes the importance of our personal stories and how our narratives make us who we are. We also discuss how, if we need to make changes in our lives, we can rewrite our stories to take us in a new direction.
