Healing Through Art
Our programs use art to bring people together and support mental health in meaningful ways. Veterans can connect and unwind through glassmaking, while students and patients get access to fun, free creative experiences that boost well-being. Whether it's making art in a hospital or together in a classroom setting, these programs help build a stronger, more connected community.
Our Programs
GlassArt for Military Wellness
In partnership with WheatonArts, this program offers free glass art workshops for veterans and active-duty service members. Participants learn techniques like glassblowing and fusing in a hands-on, welcoming space that supports creativity, connection, and wellness. A public exhibition will be held at Inspira Medical Center Vineland in November.
