Life On Art makes the healing power of art available to those who often feel unseen and forgotten. Through community building and artistic activism, we advocate for human rights and systemic change.
We invite communities impacted by systemic injustices to art workshops where they explore and share their stories and, through artmaking, build components of large-scale artworks. These programs foster a sense of belonging, self-expression, hope, and purpose. Together with our volunteers, we provide workshops for schools, the public, and those in the caring professions. Life On Art works in California state correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals, with at-promise youth, with veterans, and with nonprofit partners to serve trauma-impacted people.
