    Our Mission:To inspire, heal and improve the quality of life for children in need through the creative process of art.

    About Us

    Our Values:

    Art is the universal language which transcends differences in cultural and customary barriers.

    Art is a tool for education that encourages creative thinking, problem solving and growth.

    Art gives a voice to the voiceless.

    Art is good for the soul.

    Our Actions:

    Project HOPE Art uses art as a vehicle to inspire, to educate and to create intentional whimsy. We work with children in hospitals, orphanages, schools and communities in disaster stricken areas, utilizing art to help establish self esteem, self expression, self respect and stress relief for our students. We create art for art’s sake, while educating through our art, science, nutrition and literacy programs. We twirl in tutus and face paint because it’s good for the soul. Since our inception in January 2010 we have made multiple trips to Haiti and have recently launched a Visiting Artist Program, creating a sustainable way for artists in any medium to share their creativity with our kids and project partners as we strive towards our mission to inspire, heal and improve the quality of life for children in need.
