Art Heals

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

Free Arts for Abused Children of Arizona came to our YAM Worldwide headquarters in 2013 to showcase their exhibit called “Pieces of Me." The exhibit was part of their Professional Artist Series program where girls living in foster care were paired with professional artists to create art. They were taught to express their feelings– sadness, anger, rejection – on a canvas. Renee and I, and the YAMWW employees who joined us, were captivated as the girls explained the meaning behind their art. Years later, our employees still talk about the impact this experience had on them.
