ART FOR ALL
Our Art For All initiative serves as a fundamental component of our organization dedicated to introducing art and accessible spaces to schools. This initiative facilitates connections between schools and students, enabling them to collaborate with mentors from our community.
Mural and wellness spaces that are student-inspired and student-invested projects, providing the opportunities for students of all ages and levels of ability to be hands-on in the design and building of the space and fostering student empowerment in their ability to influence and be part of changing the environments around them.
GREEN SPACE
This Art For All wellness room caters to individuals of all abilities and combines biophilic and sensory design. Biophilic design increases connectivity to the natural environment by bringing nature's calming visual and sound elements indoors. It is a proven design concept that reduces stress, enhances creativity, and improves our overall well-being through sensory stimulation.

HEALTHY ISLAND
Healthy Island is a space designed by the students: a boombox, comfortable seating, a ring light set up for TikTok videos, a reminder on the wall to breathe, and more. Students that complete their coursework and reach personal goals at school are able to come into a space they are proud of. A place they feel safe, to create, to realign.
