Example Programs

Neurographic Art invites participants into a calming and meditative process that encourages mindfulness and personal insight. By focusing on a thought or emotion and allowing intuitive lines and shapes to emerge, individuals create new visual pathways, promoting relaxation, focus, and a renewed perspective on a challenge they are facing.

The Perspectives Project encourages participants to explore how personal and cultural experiences affect the way we see the world. Inspired by African American artist Jacob Lawrence, this project uses visual storytelling to reflect on identity, challenge stereotypes, and consider how seeing through another lens can shift our perspective of people, places, and experiences.

Trees represent strength, resilience, and growth–qualities that mirror the personal journeys of those facing emotional challenges. By adding meaningful words to their art, participants reflect, express, and give voice to their inner experiences in a creative and meaningful way.

The feather quill symbolizes personal expression and the power of communication. Participants reflect on a single word that captures how they feel in the moment and then bring that feeling to life through color, design, and written language – creating a meaningful visual of their inner experience.

Participants creatively reflect on their personal journey by designing a music al- bum that represents their life. Using words and images, they craft a visual cover and a personalized play list – each ‘song’ title offering insight into meaningful experiences, emotions, or moments that helped shape who they are.

Sugar Skulls are a vibrant way to honor cultural traditions and remember those we’ve lost. Through the use of color, symbolism, and meaningful words or quotes, participants explore personal memories, express feelings, and share stories that connect them to their heritage and to one another.
