Building Resiliency Through ​Arts–Based Learning Since 2017

What We Do

Our Mission
_____________

The ArtSpeaks Project is dedicated to offering adults and youth impacted by trauma due to addictions and mental health challenges a welcoming and safe space to collaborate with local professional artists in the service of cultural mentorship, fostering resiliency through arts-based skill-building towards the creation of personally meaningful works.
How It Began

Our Goals
​___________

To serve the adults and youth in our community who have been impacted by addictions and mental health​ challenges.
To express the physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological impact of trauma due to addictions and mental health challenges through ​arts-based skills learning and art-making.
​To create an environment that is warm and welcoming, that excites and inspires a keen urge to explore and create using a variety of media and processes.
To create an opportunity for adults and youth living ​with addictions and mental health​ challenges to turn their words and stories ​into art that speaks.
Where We're Going

"I found hope. I found emotions. I found courage. I found joy. I found there is a life worth living and I found I have ability to not only speak about how I feel but also write about it."

Our Funders and Partners
​_____________________________

The ArtSpeaks Project came into existence in 2017 thanks to a Seed Grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. ArtSpeaks relies on the generous support of local  artists/arts groups, community grants and public donations.  

​We are so grateful for ​our partner agencies Breton House, Sault Area Hospital's Sexual Assault Care Centre and the Sault Ste. Marie Museum
 (our home) for their long-standing commitment to our mission of fostering resilience through arts-based learning and skill-building in those impacted by trauma. 

Many thanks as well to the City of Sault Ste. Marie's Cultural Vitality Committee for funding our special projects this year.
