It's like magic to our kids. HCA has provided opportunities for fun, self-expression, learning, making new friends and keeping the old.

I love coming to this art class. It has been a place where I can relax and take my mind off everything going on in my busy life. I have learned so much since September. I have grown and become more confident in my work. The HCA is truly a beautiful peaceful space. Thank you.

I am so glad I found HCA! I love it here because it is about creating quality work.
Anika Gupta, age 10
I didn't have any artistic confidence, and was considering abandoning art. Now, after studying and volunteering for over a year, I am enrolled and preparing for art school. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this place, and to Kris and Sarah for being so supportive.
