Mission Statement My purpose is to express my creativity, patience, and nurturing spirit by designing projects and teaching classes to at risk youth.   To facilitate others in teaching to youth, reaching out to the community and encouraging artistic growth and healing.   The needs of these children will be of utmost importance as they need a place for their authentic artistic expression.   Art Take A Village will grow to include many other types of provisional outreach programs bringing full circle the spirit of loving and caring for those in need.
