ART Inside/Out Philosophy

 

“Art enables us to find ourselves and love ourselves at the same time.” –Thomas Merton

“Creativity takes courage.” Henri Matisse

 

I truly believe that once a person feels like they have a purpose in life, they become better human beings. We all can grow and art has a way of showing us our strengths and out weaknesses. Those who may feel lost can be grounded by making art and in return have a sense of direction in their lives.

 

ART Inside/Out will market to any institutions that houses some of the millions of incarcerated individuals and who wish to provide an art therapeutic program for their population.
