COMMUNITY IS BUILT BY THE HANDS THAT CARE

This Tuesday, we’re coming together to make a real difference. ❤️

Artist Alliance for Change is partnering with New Destiny Christian Church to serve and uplift our unhoused neighbors — and YOU are part of that change.

Every jacket donated.
Every pair of socks given.
Every hygiene item dropped off.

It all becomes dignity.
It all becomes hope.
It all becomes love in action.

We believe creativity changes cities… but compassion changes lives.

Let’s show Imperial Valley what unity looks like.

Let’s be the reason someone feels seen.

📍 Donations accepted 12PM–6PM
📅 Every First Tuesday of the Month

Together, we don’t just talk about change —
We create it. 🤍

Take a little walk with us through our space in this video. This was our soft opening Art Social at Unwind & Design Creative Studio / Art Café, and the vibes were everything—chill, creative, and full of community.

We kicked things off with karaoke & trivia, live art activities led by our in-house instructors (painting, fiber studio, and linocut), fresh artisan lemonade, free photography photo shoot, and freshly made Cubano sandwiches made on the spot. People painted, crafted, sang, laughed, and just hung out—exactly how an art lounge should feel.

✨ Good news: We’re doing it again!
📅 Saturday, February 21st

Come by to relax, sing a song, join trivia, bring your own art supplies, or order something fun from our new Art Activity Menu. No pressure, no experience needed—just good energy, creativity, and a welcoming space to unwind.

Each day invites us to quiet the noise in our minds, pick up our tools, and create something—big or small. When we see the day as a work of art, we step out of our heads and into the joy of living.
