About

Mission: We empower healing through art and community.

 

Vision: A future where people with diverse abilities can achieve their full potential and feel embraced by an inclusive society.


As a 501c3 organization with 40+ years of experience, We Care Arts increases confidence and artistic skill in a variety of individuals with developmental disabilities, substance use disorders, and mental health diagnoses. We bring our mission to life via our ArtWORKS classes which are offered at the Berkeley Center Studio Campus, virtually, in high school Transition to Work classes, as well as through community partnership contracts and Employment Services.
