A New Leader of Leaders: Presenting Laura Menyuk and the 2018-2019 Cohort!
Art with a Heart is pleased to welcome Laura Menyuk as its new Director of Leadership and Engagement.
Laura has been facilitating outdoor and community service programs around the country for the last 10 years. On August 26th, Laura began her Art of Leadership journey with the fourth cohort of young leaders. Students enthusiastically participated in activities to get to know each other, shared a bit about themselves, discussed leadership and expectations and enjoyed an inspiring keynote speaker, Dr. LaMarr Darnell Shields. It was a great first session and we look forward to growing and learning with this phenomenal group of students.

Reflecting on a Beautiful Baltimore
In August, team members from
Baltimore Community Foundation's Development and Donor Services group enjoyed a creative afternoon at Art with a Heart. Prompted with the question, "What does Baltimore mean to you?" team members created mixed media collages using words, maps, images and mosaicked a shape of Baltimore. The final pieces were framed for display in their home or office.
