ArtWell's fourth annual Poetry & Art Show kicked off with an opening reception that celebrated our core value of imagination. It featured powerful artwork by students, ArtWell Teaching Artists, board members, and staff, as well as captivating live performances. 

In this blog, Nella Rohan explores the transformative power of journaling enhanced by color therapy. She reflects on guiding journaling sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic and how combining written expression with chromotherapy helps manage emotions, reduce stress, and foster creativity. By introducing this practice to students through ArtWell's workshops, journaling becomes a vibrant tool for healing, self-expression, and resilience.

Thank you to all our partners and supporters for helping ArtWell reach over 700 youth!

The Awaken Your Dreams Poetry & Art Show was our first in-person event in three years! Featuring poetry and art from students from Al-Aqsa Islamic Academy, C.C.A. Baldi Middle School, Emlen Elementary School, George W Nebinger School, John H. Taggart School, Parkway Northwest High School, and Saint Francis de Sales School, this exhibition aimed to uplift the voices and visions of our incredible students.
