ArtVenture Art Discovery Program
Art outreach program at various locations throughout the Crossroads
ArtVenture Art Discovery Program
ArtVenture Art Discovery Program is the Nave's free art outreach program which is dedicated to serving children facing various challenges including special educational or emotional needs, family transitions, and financial challenges. By partnering with organizations like the Boys & Girls Club of Victoria, the Brownson Home for Children, and The Vine School, we aim to provide a nurturing experience in a familiar environment where children can explore art as a means of expression and empowerment. Through enriching art projects and engaging lessons on art history and methodology, we strive to educate and inspire these young individuals. We wholeheartedly believe that art is a vital outlet for emotions and a powerful tool for fostering creativity and imagination in all children, regardless of their circumstances.
