HeART of the Children

Header

In early 2024, Friends of the Children invited program youth to embark on a creative journey of self-expression through the transformative power of art. Youth from across the country, guided by the theme “Who Am I?”, explored their identity, culture, and sense of belonging within their communities. This led to a powerful collection of artworks that tells their stories.

The heART of the Children is a book that features over 400 youth art projects, including paintings, poetry, sculpture, and video. Art has the power to heal, express, and explore one’s true self. This book showcases the heart and creativity of the youth in our programs, and we are honored to share it with you.

This project was made possible by the generosity of Greg and Michele Goodwin. We are grateful for their commitment to our mission and collaboration in bringing this vision to life. We are proud to honor and appreciate the young artists who participated in this project and bravely shared their stories through art. Thank you for sharing your heART with us!
