As ArtBridges’ Community-Engaged Arts Directory grows, we realize that it’s a bit overwhelming to read through all of the profiles. We’re hoping that by occasionally highlighting some profiles on our blog, you may learn about an initiative that you may not have initially seen in the directory. Also, if you know of a Canadian community-engaged arts for social change initiative that isn’t in our directory, but should be, please let us know! We love and need your input/feedback in building this resource! -Lisa, Content Coordinator at Artbridges.

Art With Heart is a pending non-profit that aims to improve mental and physical health using original photography. Our goal is to bring otherwise barren community environments to life with our photo books. We also hope to run photography lessons for youth in the future, to help raise awareness for mental health issues and also help alleviate its effects.

To read more about Art With Heart, please see their profile in our Community-Engaged Arts Directory and Map.
