Art Heals! Art has the power to transform lives. That’s why we make it our mission to connect children who have experienced trauma with resilience-building arts programs and caring adult mentors. OUR MISSION

Support our resilience building art programs by donating today.

Help us create safe spaces where children can express themselves.

Get Involved

Volunteers and supporters make it possible for us to bring transformative arts programs to children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or homelessness. Whether you host an art supply drive, become a volunteer mentor, or make a donation — your contribution is crucial.

Take the Foster Care Tax Credit

With the Arizona Foster Care tax credit, you can direct your tax dollars to help bring transformative arts programs to children affected by trauma. 

Art Supplies we Need

Free Arts accepts a variety of in-kind goods and services to enhance the experience for our children and volunteers. This is an ongoing need as our programs happen year round.

The Problem

Each year, over 78,600 Arizona children experience the trauma of abuse, neglect, and homelessness.

The Solution

Research shows that in order to process toxic stress caused by trauma, children need positive experiences and supportive relationships.

The Power of the Arts

We use the arts to provide opportunities for children to express themselves and connect with volunteer mentors.
