Owl & Panther

Owl & Panther "On the seventh day, only the owl and the panther were still awake. To foster acceptance of refugees in the community through education.

Because they did not succumb to sleep, they were given the power to see in the dark." - from a Cherokee Creation Story Our Mission: To provide meaningful and healing expressive arts experiences in the community and the natural world for refugee families resettled in Tucson who have been impacted by trauma, torture and traumatic dislocation. And to honor the efforts of our volunteers who make this work possible.

We partnered with local muralist to add some art on our office building! Lindee held sessions with the kiddos to teach them how to create an expressive self-portrait. We emphasized creating portraits that reflect values & interests, rather than realistic depictions of appearance. This mural represents our participants’ personalities & reflects the value of art as an outlet for expression and healing.
