Our programs, information, and activities are infused with art. Art provides a salve to help us face problems and traumas that may otherwise be too painful or uncomfortable to confront. The arts also provide exuberant expression of our joys and innermost desires, which may not always be deemed ‘appropriate’ to share in our everyday lives. Our open access Virtual Art Galleries bring together artwork that is historically important, culturally diverse, and thematically compelling. We present work by established artists as well as those who have been historically overlooked, and who are just emerging.

These online galleries are designed to help us explore and address our inner states of mind and perceptions, interpersonal relationships, cultural norms, cultural shifts, and our connections to Nature which unifies us all. We encourage families to experience the arts together, as audiences and creators.
