PROGRAMS & EVENTS
Classes
Our classes take children through a journey of empowerment, focusing on “Process over Product”. This means that art is a tool for restoring self-esteem, resiliency and hope, rather than teaching children to produce attractive or technically sound art pieces.
Art is used as a process to develop and cultivate leadership skills, self-esteem, resiliency, and a belief in a positive future.
We seek to provide an environment in which survivors can learn healthy coping skills, self-expression and social responsibility through the production and performance of art (creating writing, poetry, painting, drawing, photography), music, theater and dance.
​
Summer Arts Program
​
​Empowered Arts Alaska Summer Arts Program includes a weekend long camp where students learn healthy coping skills, self-expression and social responsibility through the production and performance of art (creating writing, poetry, painting, drawing, photography), music, theater and dance.
Students are able to take classes on their favorite art forms and participate in a group theatre production.
​
At the end of the program students will have the opportunity to display their favorite art forms in a student showcase along with the group theatre production.

Mentorships
​
​Empowered Arts Alaska creates a safe environment where children can feel, understand and express their emotions and begin to recover and gain a sense of mastery and empowerment.​
We pair children with adult mentors who serve as a positive role model with whom the child has a beneficial, rather than traumatic relationship.
