Why Art is Important
When people experience trauma in their lives, the process of healing and recovery can be complicated. Often, the pain from the memories and scars is too difficult to be spoken or even written. Self-expression through the arts and music helps to heal wounds and pave paths for recovery unlike anything else. It allows children and adults to be themselves, free of judgment and fear.
Studies have shown that creating art decreases levels of anxiety, lowers blood pressure and increases feelings of security and well-being. It heightens the feelings of love and happiness. The process of collaborating on artistic projects with other people helps develop awareness and increases compassion, resulting in a deep sense of community and empowerment.
Additionally, long-term benefits of expression through the arts and music help create a more positive self-image by developing confidence and curiosity, which are the keys to progress and success in the world.

[Romans 1:3-5; 15:13; 1 John 5:20; John 14:6]
Ultimate healing is found in Christ’s perfect life, sacrificial death, resurrection, and the reconciliation of humanity to Him. [John 3:16-21; Romans 5:10]
God is the ultimate Artist, making mankind in His image and likeness. Being made in the image of God, all mankind has an inherent value. When we create, we are partnering with God in holy work – whether acknowledged or not. [Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 19:1-6]
We are commanded to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind, and love our neighbors as ourselves. [Matthew 22:34-40; John 15:12]
We are called as children of God to exercise our gifts, given by God, to disciple those in reconciliation and maturity towards Him. [Ephesians 4:11-16; 2 Corinthians 5:20;]
Our programs, events, etc. should ultimately point to the Gospel and its message of eternal healing. [1 Corinthians 2:1-5; Matthew 9:35-38]
