About us | Free Arts uses art to restore hope, resiliency and self-esteem in children in Los Angeles ages 4-18 who have experienced abuse, neglect, poverty and/or homelessness. Free Arts creates a safe environment where children can feel, understand and express their emotions and begin to recover and gain a sense of mastery and empowerment. We pair children with adult mentors who serve as a positive role model with whom the child has a beneficial, rather than traumatic relationship. Free Arts programs take children through a journey of empowerment, focusing on “Process over Product”. This means that art is a tool for restoring self-esteem, resiliency and hope, rather than Free Arts teaching children to produce attractive or technically sound art pieces. Art is used as a process to develop and cultivate leadership skills, self-esteem, resiliency, and a belief in a positive future. Process oriented art includes creating writing, poetry, painting, drawing, or other art. |
