ArtWorksLBC seeks to provide each participant an opportunity to express themselves in a meaningful way. Our projects highlight the value of giving back, so that we move forward in a positive way. We provide in-person art projects to residents; neighboring schools and local businesses by providing a safe space for creativity, communication, healing and wellness.
