Arts for All is a truly remarkable organization. The volunteers, board members, and directors believe 100% in giving back to the community! They have joined TR 4 Heart and Soul with community events, specialty camps, and summer camps. No matter the occasion the Arts for All has dedicated their day to community. They make sure that every participant gets adequate time and care. They meet the needs of everyone, and we are lucky to have such a great partnership within our community.

A heart-felt thank you to “Arts for All” for providing a sensory friendly dance class for children of all different abilities. Children on the autism spectrum often have difficulty expressing themselves or even simply understanding emotions. These dance classes allowed our children to have the opportunity to break out of their shell, if even for a day, and convey emotions in a place where they could just be themselves and have fun. Regardless of a child’s diagnosis, the creative, social and physical opportunities found within a dance class gently challenges any child to express themselves in a way that allows them to thrive.

The Arts for All program took a risk to offer their services to adults struggling with opioid addiction at Heartview Foundation, even though this was not their original mission.  The Opioid Treatment Program patients look forward to art and feel a sense of accomplishment after the sessions.  They are empowered to have a say in the projects they work on and are even provided the opportunity to act as the instructor on occasion.  Art provides them the means to slow down their thoughts/emotions, inhabit their creative brains and live in the moment, all things that are important when dealing with trauma and addiction.  Melissa (artist) and Tim (volunteer) have been a blessing, accepting our patients where they are at, without judgement.  This partnership has been a blessing with a promising future.
