A little about us
ART 180 gives young people the chance to express themselves through art, and to share their stories with others. We create and provide art-related programs to young people living in challenging circumstances, encouraging personal and community change through self-expression... read more about our mission, motivation and staff.
What’s happening
We have just completed our second issue of Q, a quarterly publication that explores and articulates ART 180’s core values in your voice. The first issue aimed to answer the question, “Can art create change?” and the second issue asks, “How do you express creativity?”
We invite you to read, comment, upload art and discuss your opinion on our blog and/or on our Facebook page. We hope you enjoy Q and that you join in the conversation with us! Click here to learn more, to read Q online, or to subscribe.
