Every masterpiece needs a place to grow. Today, at Tiffin Development Center, that meant getting inspired outside!

Bobby and his instructor, Jenn, started by painting flowers, following along with an example Jenn had in her art kit. After building momentum and confidence, Bobby added his own grass blades and even the chubby bumblebee they noticed outside!

Beautiful work, Bobby!

Awakening Minds Art in Findlay held its annual meeting Friday, discussing leadership updates, organizational performance and program and fundraising highlights from last year. https://tinyurl.com/munby6xc

In 2025, Awakening Minds Art was proud to announce the opening of an endowment fund at The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation, and we are thrilled to showcase new artwork at the studio honoring our founding donors! The names on this artwork are people who will quite literally impact this organization for generations to come. THANK YOU!

An endowment is like a piggy bank that keeps growing and helps us pay for our work...FOREVER. Endowments protect & build savings by only allowing an annual percentage to be withdrawn, helping to ensure longevity and sustainability of resources.

This is what belonging looks like.
Shared tables. Encouraging words. People creating side by side, each at their own pace.

One space where everyone is welcome.
And that changes more than just what’s on the canvas! 🌷
