Whether you contribute $10 or $1,000, your donation directly supports access to mental health services, trans joy, and community resilience.

💌 Thank you for helping us grow this movement of care, connection, and courage.


The Tigris Foundation and the Resilience Resource Center (RRC) are collaborating to launch a three-month initiative called "Art for Resilience," running from August to October. This project aims to support 2SLGBTQIA+ youth through therapeutic creative expression.


The initiative combines art and therapy techniques with community-building activities to create a safe and affirming space where participants can explore their identities, process their emotions, and build resilience. Each month will feature two guided workshops led by 2SLGBTQIA+ artists and licensed mental health professionals. These workshops will utilize a variety of media—including painting, drawing, creative writing, collage, and mixed media—to encourage emotional growth and self-expression.


Additionally, weekly open-studio sessions will be available, providing youth with a drop-in space to create, connect, and continue developing their personal art pieces. The project will culminate in a vibrant community art showcase and sale in October, where youth participants will exhibit their work alongside local 2SLGBTQIA+ artists in a celebratory public art fair featuring creative activities, local vendors, and the opportunity to purchase original artwork in support of emerging queer artists.

Open Call For Community Artist
