About

Our mission is to facilitate art experiences for those who can benefit from them the most. People and communities facing challenges in their lives deserve opportunities to use art to express themselves, empower themselves, and heal.
The first project that we are tackling with Big Heart Art is hosting art festivals at family shelters where families have a chance to learn art making techniques and be inspired by a variety of art projects. As families leave the event, each kid takes with them a brand new backpack filled with awesome art materials.
Children in shelters experience trauma that can affect them for the rest of their lives.  Research proves that art improves coping skills, and reduces anxiety and depression. It allows us to express feelings and communicate in a way that we may not be able to with words. 
Art heals.
