The Sanctuary Art Center is a collection of art studios designed to connect homeless and under-served youth populations with employment internships and artistic programs in a variety of creative disciplines. Our goal is to educate and empower young people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds so they may reach their fullest potential. We view creativity as a basic need. Many of the youth we encounter have experienced significant trauma. Art gives them the opportunity to explore their issues in an indirect manner, providing a less aggressive path toward healing.
