Art from the Heart
Giving under served children of Marin County the opportunity to be actively involved in the arts
​
​
Art from the Heart is a 501© (3) non-profit organization reaching out to children of low-income, under-served families in Marin County by providing after-school enrichment programs. Our program gives children the opportunity to be actively involved in the arts – they become the artist, the performer, and the audience member!
​
We introduce a wide variety of art forms to our students hoping to ignite a love and appreciation of the arts. Our students have the opportunity to become active participants engaging in hands-on art projects. Many have not had the chance to experience dance, drama, art, song, or attend a live performance – Art From the Heart makes this all possible.
​
Who Are the Artists
Art From the Heart works with over 350 Marin County children from the Novato Children Center, Old Gallinas Child Care Center, San Pedro Elementary School, Side by Side’s Irene M. Hunt School, and the North Marin Community Services. Many of our sites are primarily State funded. Sadly these budgets do not include resources for enrichment programs such as the arts.
​
How We Do It
We are funded by individuals and organizations who believe and support our mission of bringing the arts to life for under-served children. We continuously focus on researching and cultivating additional potential funding sources.
We work closely with Marin Community Child Development Centers, Community Action Marin, Side by Side’s Irene M. Hunt School, and the North Marin Community Services. Our plan is to expand our art program to reach other organizations servicing Marin County children in need.
