OPEN HEARTS ART CENTER

OPENHEARTSART's Shop Announcement

Welcome to Open Hearts Art Center!!
.. Open Hearts Art Center is a non-profit art education program located in the rich arts based community of Western North Carolina. We are dedicated to serving adults with a variety of challenges, which include but are not limited to, developmental, mental, physical and emotional disabilities.

.. These unique individuals are able to reach their full potential through creative techniques such as, music, drama, dance, creative writing, painting, ceramics and animal therapy. Through the arts a challenged individual may: discover new ways in which to express themselves, gain self-confidence, and increase awareness of their individuality.

Open Hearts Art Center is open five days a week with classes from 9am to 3pm. Professional artists, educators, human service workers, and advocates for individuals with disabilities teach classes daily. Open Hearts Art Center provides a safe place for individuals to work on their personal, social, community and employment goals through creative means.

.. Classes consist of painting, drawing, music, drama, dance, ceramics, woodshop, fibers, creative writing, 2D & 3D design, and yoga.

Our program presents a unique opportunity for students to sell and exhibit their artwork at the Woolworth Walk, a prestigious art gallery in downtown Asheville N.C. It is an exciting time at Open Hearts Art Center when students receive a paycheck for artwork they have sold. We have witnessed first hand how Open Hearts Art Center student artists gain confidence and self worth through creating and selling their artwork.
