Therapeutic Arts

Therapeutic arts projects at BSM are designed to have several functions:

  • To help participants 'escape' or have a respite from very difficult life situations
  • To help participants delve deeper into the emotional and spiritual struggles they are facing
  • To empower people to engage their own creativity and see themselves as the beautiful, creative people they are

Projects are incorporated into several areas of BSM life, including the Social Impact Course, the Youth Initiative, Sunday worship, and Breaking Bread. Every Thursday at Breaking Bread we make space for an open art studio in the sanctuary. All are welcomed to come to the table, pick up an art medium, and express something. Art-making at BSM is more often than not about the process over and above the product--the belief is that the very process of creative artexpression is therapeutic and life-giving. The works of art you see on these walls, in the vestibule, and on your dinner tables were created by the talented artists that participate in BSM's therapeutic arts programs.
