ArtSpirit, Inc. is made up of many dedicated professionals and volunteers who give generously of their time and talents to the work that we do to bring the community together in peace and healing through creativity. Like the participants in our workshops, they come from many different backgrounds and walks of life. They are dedicated to our goal of enriching lives through creativity as part of a group experience.



ArtSpirit Programs



ArtSpirit was founded in 1995 with the organizing of an exhibit in New York City of sacred art from around the world. The enthusiastic response to this and ensuing exhibits, which highlighted the deep connection of art and spirituality, and to the educational forums that developed around them, inspired ArtSpirit to bring the creative process directly to individuals in the community. Since then, ArtSpirit has focused on offering its unique approach of using nondenominational drumming circles and art making on sacred themes to increasingly diverse groups. Drumming rhythms draw people together and help them express emotions as part of an enjoyable group process. In this way, emotional healing can take place through artistic expression and connecting to community.



ArtSpirit has developed two programs, which invite participants to engage in the journey of finding peace and wholeness through the power of their own inspiration. Each uses art and music to further our goal of encouraging healing and unity through creativity.
