ADVOCACY THROUGH THE ARTS
Growing Through Art
Visual and performing arts build three main skill areas: self-advocacy, self-expression, and confidence.
Friends learn how to find their voice, tell their story, and connect with others through a shared experience.

PERFORMING ARTS
Friends explore role playing and acting, learning to write, direct, film, and star in live productions performed at local theaters, schools, businesses, and surprise pop ups around Nashville.

Visual Arts
Friends create unique, individual works of art and collaborate with other artists to explore a wide range of mediums, honing their art-making skills and practicing self-expression and connection.

Artwork is shared with the community through gallery exhibitions, here on our website, and at events.
