Your gift matters! because Making Art Makes a DifferencE.

For youth…

Hands-on arts programs also build lifelong success by fostering 21st-century job skills like critical thinking, creativity, and troubleshooting. Visual arts, in particular, help students set goals and develop an idea of a final product, then cultivate discipline and focus to achieve those goals.

For seniors…

For older adults, just 10 weeks of participation in a visual arts program has been shown to increase the resilience and neural connectivity of the brain. Community art programs also reduce social isolation and spark participation in other kinds of activities, helping elders remain active members of the community as they age.

For society…

People who participate in arts programs are twice as likely to volunteer in their communities. Young artists are 40% more likely to have friends from different racial groups and twice as likely to vote. When arts organizations are present within low-income neighborhoods, property values are boosted by up to 20%.

For everyone…

For all ages and abilities, hands-on art activities decrease stress hormones, lowering anxiety and reducing depression. Community art programs, especially, reduce loneliness and build social connections across differences.

Research shows that participatory art programs like the ones offered by Groundworks Art Lab have dramatic impact on the mental, physical, and social health of participants as well as long-term impact on the communities they inhabit.

This is our WHY. When you give to Groundworks you’re helping bring the benefits of hands-on art programs to our entire community. Please make your impact today by clicking the button below.
