Mission Moments
Our instructors play a pivotal role in the success of We Care Arts. Here are some heartfelt mission moments
It is Photo Week & all of the artist-client have a little bio to fill out to pair with their picture. I was helping Jenny R fill out her paper, so I asked her the final question: "What do you like about We Care Arts?"Jenny responded immediately with "We Care Arts is my home... I feel safe here."
I almost cried, if we're being honest.
Instructor, Jay
In our final class with Onefifteen, participant Kayla T. shared with me how she has looked forward to the opportunity to create and decompress in our Outreach classes. She told me that she would look forward to Friday morning all week and sit by the window in the common area, waiting for me to come in. Below, she is pictured with her beach-themed cardboard relief sculpture. Instructor, Eylina O
I LOVE the current syllabus especially the Children’s Book Illustrations lesson, Theresa S. in my Monday morning class told me she always wanted to write and illustrate a children’s book, and she has been very excited to work on one here! She is writing a story on her journey with CP but using different animals to represent the different challenges she faces, it's really cool to watch someone's ideas unfold and for someone to be so excited about what they are working on! Instructor, Cassie C.
“Being true to my artistic self has been the key to my surviving things that should have killed me, and I am grateful to have a second chance. We Care Arts came just at the right time. I have looked for mental health support for 50 years... It wasn't until I came here that the healing started to manifest itself.” Artist-Client, Lana!
