300 youth ages 4-18 created their own mini masterpiece for a good cause!
ArtReach is hosting a Youth Art Show at this year’s Mission Fed Artwalk. This is a free event where thousands of attendees come to view and purchase artwork, enjoy live music performances, and participate in interactive art experiences.
You can find us at booth 827-828 (on India Street between Beech & Grape) on Saturday, April 27 from 11am – 6pm and Sunday, April 28 from 10am – 5pm. All art pieces will be available with 100% of the proceeds supporting our mission to ignite youth creativity through visual arts expression and community connection.
We also invite you to join us at Kidswalk for a FREE family-friendly art activity inspired by dreams! Display the artwork in our booth or take it home to keep forever.
Where do your dreams take you?
When creating mini masterpieces, youth explored their artistic expressions by visualizing where their dreams take them! This question involves Social-Emotional Learning concepts by cultivating imagination and fostering self-awareness. Delving into the landscapes of dreams enhances understanding of emotions and aspirations, contributing to overall emotional intelligence.

What is SEL?
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. SEL advances educational equity through authentic school-family-community partnerships to establish learning environments and experiences that feature trusting and collaborative relationships.
