Please visit the new page to apply.

Life On Art is a nonprofit organization committed to using the power of art to drive social change, promote healing, and build stronger, more connected communities. We create spaces where individuals can express themselves, heal, and connect through creativity.
This spring, we’re excited to host art workshops at two correctional facilities, the Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF) in Chowchilla, CA and the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) in Soledad, CA. We’re looking for passionate volunteers to help bring creativity and personal growth to incarcerated individuals. These workshops will run from mid-April to June with 8 sessions at each facility. Volunteers can choose to participate at one or both facilities and commit to as many or as few sessions as their schedule allows.

Mission Statement
Life On Art unites people from diverse communities to co-create handmade large scale interactive art as a platform for social action and healing.
Description
Life On Art makes the healing power of art available to those who often feel unseen and forgotten. Through community building and artistic activism, we advocate for human rights and systemic change.
We invite communities impacted by systemic injustices to art workshops where they explore and share their stories and, through artmaking, build components of large-scale artworks. These programs foster a sense of belonging, self-expression, hope, and purpose. Together with our volunteers, we provide workshops for schools, the public, and those in the caring professions. Life On Art works in California state correctional facilities and psychiatric hospitals, with at-promise youth, with veterans, and with nonprofit partners to serve trauma-impacted people.
