Painting is therapy. Therapy should be for everyone.
Who we paint with
Every age, every income, every ability. The studio already gets them all — the elderly couple where the nurse guided her hand, the kid on the spectrum who can’t sit still anywhere else, the veteran on a quiet weeknight. The foundation makes sure none of them get turned away because of cost.

Every program is sliding-scale. Free or low-fee for the participants who genuinely can’t pay. Full fee for those who can. Donors and grants fund the difference.
