Creating, Connecting, and Caring for Tomorrow
Every person deserves the opportunity to express themselves through art, regardless of their circumstances. Sticks and Stones' mission is to provide accessible and enriching art programs for individuals who lack access due to rural location, financial barriers, or special needs. Through creative expression and exploration, we empower participants to discover their voice, build confidence, and work through challenges like anxiety and self-doubt. Our curriculum integrates nature-based art pedagogy and choice-based learning, fostering a deep connection between artistic practice, the environment, and personal well-being. By nurturing creativity and emotional resilience, we aim to inspire the next generation of artists and advocates who can envision and create a brighter future—for themselves and their communities
