Happy Thanksgiving from Art with a Heart's Young Artists!
Art with a Heart is delighted to welcome Heritage Early Learning Center as a new community partner. After learning about Thanksgiving, the pre-kindergarten class practiced painting techniques to visually express what they are thankful for. Everyone had a great time learning, creating, and showing off their colorful paintings.

Mountain Manor Installation
Over the course of six weeks, students in Art with a Heart classes at Mountain Manor Treatment Center created bright row house paintings inspired by the work of artist Ton Schulten. The colorful paintings were installed together, in a quilt-like manner, in the entrance of the residential building to invoke a feeling of pride and community.

House of Ruth Door Paintings
As part of its commitment to the women and children at the House of Ruth, Art with a Heart facilitated a community service project to beautify the shelter's cafeteria space. Art with a Heart volunteer, teacher, and artist Kate Gomprecht worked with interns, HeART Helpers, and local girl scouts to paint beautiful flowers on the glass doors in the cafeteria. The painted doors provide the women with much needed privacy while creating a warm and inviting dining area.

Congratulations to the JDRF Youth Ambassadors
 In October, Art with a Heart worked with youth ambassadors from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) to create four, large stepping stones. The stones were auctioned at JDRF's Hope Gala on November 1st. We are proud to report that the stepping stones raised $3,000 for JDRF. Art with a Heart is thrilled to be a continuing supporter of these young people and their notable efforts. Congratulations to the youth ambassadors for the wonderful art and fundraising accomplishment!
