Awakening Minds Art is a nonprofit organization that provides therapeutic and educational visual art programs to all ages and abilities. Art is a bond among us!

At Awakening Minds Art, we believe everyone should have the chance to experience that connector. Art awakens our souls and our minds, allows us to spend time with those we love and meet new people, and gives us a new perspective on life.

AMA strives to meet our students where ever they are. In our skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, where ever our clients are could be a wide range, indeed. The other day Clara was not following the steps as Jenn presented them, but she was absolutely painting with purpose. Jenn and Activities staff made the decision to just let Clara do her thing.

What was intended to be coneflowers in the sunset looked a bit chaotic on Clara’s canvas. The group changed colors and brushes and Clara continued to paint her own vision.

At the end of the class there were 7 interpretations of coneflowers. There was also Clara’s painting and she was still working on it!

Her painting was spectacular! It was what her mind’s eye saw and created! She took what was offered to the group and truly made it her own! I can’t think of anything truer to AMA than that!

Sending a big thank you to Arcadia United Methodist Church Women's Group for this generous donation of wet wipes!! AMA uses these as a safe, easy, and gentle way to clean up sensitive skin throughout the painting process. We appreciate your support so much!

One student. One instructor. Goals built around THEM. 🎨

At Awakening Minds Art, our one-on-one programs aren't simply private art lessons.
Each session is designed around the individual student. While they're painting, drawing and creating, an instructor can intentionally incorporate goals like communication, fine motor skills, following directions, decision-making, focus, confidence and independence. For student's like Zoe, it's communication/conversation skills as well as following directions and having a sense of accomplishment!

And just as importantly, students get to experience success in a space designed to meet them where they are.

They may think they're coming to make art.
We know they're doing so much more. 💜

Learn more about our one-on-one therapeutic and educational visual art programs and how we use art to help individuals of all ages and abilities grow beyond the canvas.
