From Ohio to Baltimore: Students Spend a Week at Art with a Heart
Twelve students from Denison University's BreakAway Group, an alternative winter break program, chose to spend their week doing service with Art with a Heart. The students worked on a variety of projects and experienced the impact Art with a Heart is making in the communities it serves. At the end of the week, one student eloquently wrote about the experience:
"As we drove around Baltimore, we made time to see some of the murals that you have contributed to the Baltimore community. They are a beautiful juxtaposition to the challenging surroundings and a clear vision of hope and inspiration."
The entire Art with a Heart team thoroughly enjoyed working with the BreakAway Group and we are grateful for their dedication to service and community.
