Hello everyone! I'm raising funds for The Expressive Arts Collective, a fiscally sponsored project of City HEART. I believe in the power of art as a transformative and healing tool, and I invite you to join me in making a positive impact on our community.

What is The Expressive Arts Collective of Long Beach?

The Expressive Arts Collective is a fiscally sponsored project under the nonprofit organization, CityHEART. EACLB is dedicated to promoting emotional well-being and personal growth through various art forms. We offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore their creativity, express themselves authentically, and find solace in the healing power of art.

Art as a Powerful Tool for Healing

Art has an incredible ability to touch hearts, ignite inspiration, and promote self-discovery. By providing a platform for individuals to engage in expressive arts, we empower them to overcome personal challenges, heal emotional wounds, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences.

The Benefit our Services Bring to the Community

The impact of our services extends far beyond the individual level. By promoting emotional well-being and personal growth, we contribute to the overall mental health and resilience of our community. Through workshops, therapy sessions, and community events, we foster connections, reduce stigma surrounding mental health, and create a supportive network of individuals who share a common passion for the arts.

Where Your Donation Will Go

Your generous contribution will directly support The Expressive Arts Collective of Long Beach in several important ways:

-Rental Fee: By helping us cover our rental costs, you enable us to maintain a dedicated and welcoming space where individuals can come together and engage in artistic expression freely.

-Art Supplies: Artistic endeavors rely on quality supplies, and your donation will ensure that we have a wide range of materials available for participants to unleash their creativity and explore different mediums.

-Administrative Costs: From managing workshops to organizing events, there are essential administrative tasks that keep our organization running smoothly. Your support will assist us in covering these vital expenses so we can focus on providing high-quality services.

-Scholarship Fund: We believe that art and healing should be accessible to all. With your help, we can establish a scholarship fund to reduce the cost of our services, making them more affordable and inclusive for individuals who may be facing financial limitations. This will enable more people to participate and benefit from our transformative programs.

Your donation will have a direct and tangible impact on our ability to provide a nurturing and supportive environment for individuals seeking solace, personal growth, and emotional well-being through the expressive arts.
