Art Speaks Charity champions the healing and empowerment of individuals who have been most marginalized by society. We focus on justice-impacted individuals, those in substance abuse recovery, at-risk youth, and trauma survivors who have historically been denied opportunities for creative expression and personal growth.

We offer four core program pillars:

1. Expressive Arts Therapy: Trauma-informed creative interventions for emotional healing
2. Vocational Creative Skills Development: Professional arts training and career pathway support
3. Community Restoration and Public Art: Collaborative art projects that rebuild social connections
4. Mentorship and Supportive Networks: Ongoing support and guidance for personal growth

Our programs are specifically designed for:

• Justice-impacted individuals
• People in substance abuse recovery
• At-risk youth
• Trauma survivors

Our inaugural programs will launch in Fall 2025. More details coming soon.

We are committed to making our programs accessible. While we are still finalizing our full pricing structure, we plan to offer:

• Sliding scale fees based on individual circumstances
• Scholarship opportunities
• Potential fully sponsored spots for qualifying participants

Our goal is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent individuals from accessing our transformative programs.
