We are incredibly honored to have been part of the Wi******er Community High School, Internship & Employment Fair! It was such a meaningful experience connecting with both juniors and seniors and sharing more about Start with Art, our mission, our programs, and the heart behind the work we do in our community.

We had the opportunity to speak with so many thoughtful, driven students who are eager to make a difference, and it was inspiring to see their passion firsthand. We were even able to hand out internship applications to a few students interested in joining us next year, something we are truly excited about as we continue to grow and invest in the next generation.

Moments like this remind us how fortunate we are to be part of a community that prioritizes opportunities, resources, and support for its youth. Seeing these students step forward with a desire to create impact in their own community is powerful and it gives us so much hope for the future.

We’re grateful to be a small part of their journey and can’t wait to see what they accomplish 💛

Art isn’t a plan… it’s colors, feelings, and giving yourself the space to simply create.

It doesn’t have to be mapped out.
It doesn’t have to make sense.

It’s about pausing… breathing… resetting.
Letting go, rewriting, and creating something new—just for you.

We want to give a HUGE thank you to Bee Wings & Fuzzy Things for their generous donation of alpaca “beans” for our community garden! 💚

This might sound funny at first but this donation is truly gold for our soil. Alpaca manure is an incredible natural fertilizer that’s rich in nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which help plants grow strong and healthy. Even better, it’s gentle enough that it can be used directly in the garden without composting first, no burning plants, just nourishing them!

It also helps improve soil structure, allowing better water retention and aeration, which means healthier roots and more productive plants. Plus, it supports beneficial microbes that keep our soil alive and thriving.

Because of this thoughtful gift, we’re able to continue building a garden that will feed, teach, and bring our community together. 🌱

Thank you for helping us grow something beautiful!

Make sure to attend our Start with Art feeding Thinkers Community Garden Ribbon Cutting on May 14th !!

We had such an amazing class diving into the world of Toulouse-Lautrec and exploring the beauty of movement in art 🎨

The kids learned how artists capture motion, how a single image can feel alive, full of energy and story. Inspired by that, they chose to bring their own ideas to life by creating cars in motion in preparation for the upcoming Wicks Car Show on May 23rd !!!

It was incredible to watch their creativity unfold, each piece showing speed, movement, and personality in such unique ways. From bold lines to vibrant colors, they truly embraced the challenge and made it their own.

We’re also so excited that many of these pieces will be featured in our Start with Art Youth Art Show , a free event celebrating the talent and imagination of our young artists. These kids continue to inspire us with their passion and creativity!

So proud of this group and all the heart they put into their work 💛
