ART IS ONE OF THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES ALL HUMAN BEINGS UNDERSTAND AND USE TO COMMUNICATE

The Expressions program uses art to help understand who we are, our places in the world, and the meaning of our lives. We use art to express ourselves and to speak to others across time and place. Expressions gives a voice to the voiceless and allows foster youth to tell their stories, authentically. The power of the arts to enrich human experience and society is recognized and celebrated in Expressions.

Expressions consists of four cutting edge art curriculums in Visual, Performing, Literary and Media Arts. Classes are led by professional staff that are selected with emphasis on their artistic expertise, teaching background and compassion towards foster youth.

We partner with DFCS, foster care homes and other service providers to identify and enroll at-risk foster youth into the Expressions Program.

“There is no society ever discovered in the remotest corner of the world that has not had something that we would consider the arts. Visual arts – decoration of surfaces and bodies – appears to be a human universal.” – Steven Pinker
