Art classes are a fun way to engage families and members of the community. People are engaged with expressing themselves and learning new skills while fhaving a meaningful sense of belonging during the process of sharing their art or creating art together. I believe access to the arts is a human right, so I love to facilitate art programs at easily accessible places in the community.
