I came to HomeFront’s Family Campus in October 2016. Initially, I tried ArtSpace because it was mandatory, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the class. I had made art as a child and was always interested in crafts, but I hadn’t painted since I was a young. Painting on canvas was totally new for me.
I create art because it’s fun and relaxing. It makes me happy! ArtSpace is so very important at a place like HomeFront because the people who come here need a place to just be. Guests are often dealing with a huge amount of stress. The last thing someone who has just walked through the doors of Homefront is thinking about is taking an hour or two to themselves to create art, or to do anything for themselves. That’s why they may never have known that their creative talent existed. ArtSpace helps clients to reclaim self-esteem and to be prouder of themselves. Making art also shows them that there are possibilities to create another source of income while paying it forward.
Art is beneficial in so many ways. I feel ArtSpace is one of the most important parts of HomeFront’s program. It’s nourishing and creative, and generates self-love and self-sufficiency.
