Art Expression, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization that was founded by James and Angela Lowden in 2001 as an expression of their passion for alleviating the social inequalities that exist among children of different abilities and backgrounds. It is a fully inclusive after-school program, offered free of charge to students, that focuses on developing the social and emotional learning of children through the arts in the Pittsburgh area. Art therapy is not performed during the sessions, but some of the components of art and music therapy are used to develop positive outcomes for students.
