Non Profit Art Programs

Nonprofit art programs contribute to communities by bringing art instruction to youth and adults. Exposure to art at a young age can help children build confidence and give them a means of self-expression that they can carry with them throughout their lives. Adults can use nonprofit art programs to explore artistic media that they may not have been able to study in the past.
