Art to Change the World has been contracted to create a Maker Space (art room) in several venues, including several Transformational Housing for Women who have experienced homelessness and Youth Programs at the YMCA. Ten ACW Teaching Artists have been trained by a licensed counselor to create lessons which include strategies to reduce trauma. Participants experiment with a variety of media including painting, sculpture, healing body adornment, quilt painting, henna applications, polymer clay, illustration, fabric hat creations and printmaking.

ACW is looking for 4 used sewing machines to install in the Maker Spaces we are creating. What better than to have a machine you have put to good use by women in need. Machines need to be in working order- dependable (The new plastic cheap singers are not!), have all parts/ accessories and be able to have the feed dogs lowered for quilting. Please email quiltlucy@gmail.com if you can help.
