About this Event

Your Art Can Change More Than Your Life—It Can Change Your Community

Art isn't just personal healing. It's collective care.

When artists create with community in mind, they become catalysts for connection, wellness, and social transformation. Your creative practice has power beyond the canvas, the page, or the stage—it has the power to build movements.
