Art is an important communication vehicle––an expression of thoughts, emotions, reactions and opinions. It is the culmination of an artist’s experiences and impressions. It is at once a creative response to and a statement about the world. A portion of the artist is invested in every piece.Hattie Larlham Creative Arts is a studio where people with disabilities interested in art can paint, create ceramic pieces or shoot photos. A staff of art trackers assists program participants in realizing their goals. During each session, residents have one-on-one time with a professional artist, who is there to do exactly what the artist wants.

This fun and meaningful event brings community members together to raise awareness about the problem of child abuse while raising funds to support the goals of The Children’s Advocacy Center.
The mission of the Center is to improve the community’s response to child abuse and neglect and to lessen the negative impact of abuse on children. For sexually abused children the Center promotes a thorough, coordinated, child-centered response to child sexual abuse, it provides expert medical evaluations, and child victim and family advocacy.
