Path with Art

Path with Art Path with Art fosters the restoration of individuals, groups, and society from the effects of trauma through arts engagement and community-building.

Path with Art is driven by its Vision: A world where arts engagement is recognized as transformative––connecting the individual with self, the self with community, and communities with society. In this world, the power of arts engagement is available for all. Since 2008, Path with Art has been at the forefront of a growing international movement that utilizes the power of art as a means to bring d

ignity, awareness, and healing to the complexities of the issues surrounding homelessness, and recovery from trauma. As a long-time leader in this field, the Path with Art model is currently being sought out and recognized by communities both nationally and internationally.

Mental health can be a challenge. For LGBTIQ+ individuals, that challenge is often magnified.

Path with Art creates spaces that center q***r identity and expression. Join us for our upcoming exhibition: Q***r Visions, a powerful exploration of identity, q***r joy, and belonging, opening on Friday, June 5th at The Fishbowl.

Did you know? LGBTIQ+ adults are more than twice as likely as their heterosexual peers to experience a mental health condition. And a study found that 40% of LGBTIQ+ adults have experienced rejection from a friend or family member.

Our mission fosters inclusive community and connection through art. 80.6% of our participants report reduced loneliness. And since the introduction of q***r-centered programming at Path with Art, we've seen our LGBTQIA+ community grow.

As we near the end of Mental Health Awareness Month and turn the corner into Pride Month, we're reminded that mental health and inclusive, supportive community go hand in hand, day after day. At Path with Art, we see that when q***r artists thrive, so does their health. We invite you to see that power for yourself at Q***r Visions.

Join us for the opening reception on June 5 from 5:30-8p at The Fishbowl. RSVP here: https://pathwithart.org/events/q***r-visions-exhibition

Art creates health. Pearl Jam's Mike McCready knows it well.

In a world of many conflicting health “solutions,” we need to invest in what we know works. Path with Art’s model is proven. And it’s powerful, because it unlocks the power of creation that we all possess.

Art is more than a creative endeavor. It literally changes our bodies.

Research shows engaging with arts has a similar risk-reducing effect on chronic pain as vigorous exercise.

“Joining the veterans choir, where I’d be surrounded by other veterans, is a way of finding my voice again.” - Shanda De Anda, PwA Participant Artist

PTSD is painfully common among veterans, impacting 10% of men and nearly 20% of women who have served. Through our veterans programs, we are working to create healing through art for this core part of our community. We’re proud to partner with Seattle Opera to bring the joy of music and community to veterans in Seattle.

Thank you again to Cascade PBS and PBS NewsHour for uplifting this program and featuring our amazing participants! Check out the full video here: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/art-therapy-programs-give-hope-to-veterans-facing-ptsd

The remedy to the mental health crisis exists within us all. The power of creation is intrinsic to all humans, and we unlock it when we work within trauma-informed programming to create art.

It’s time for health systems to follow the science and prescribe arts-based healing. Your donation helps us make that happen: https://pathwithart.org/engage/mental-health-awareness-month
