Written by woman during a class at Haven of Hope
The inside of the Gods Eye is black because it was a very lonely time in my life.
The next color is red because it was a very turbulent time in my life.
The next color is yellow and that is where I am now looking into the future.
The last (outside) color is white because my future will be bright.

ArtReach is always developing new programs to meet the needs of the community. Currently in the planning stages are an after school program for middle school students.
Each of our programs requires staffing and funding. If you would like to get involved as a volunteer or a sponsor, please contact us. We have limited office hours, so the easiest way to reach us is to send an email to info@artreachredwing.org with a phone number, and we'll call you for an appointment to get together.
Outreach to the Community: ArtReach participates in many community festivals/events throughout the year, including the Red Wing Arts Association Fall Festival, The Diversity Festival, The Farmer’s Market, Anderson Center Children’s Book Fair and Art Fair, and Earth Day Celebration Event.
Butterfly Mural, 3 x 4 feet, produced by middle school students. Students each had small sections of the mural which they painted and then assembled into a whole. Spring, 2009.
“ALF” for Pre-Schoolers
“Art, Learning and Fun” began as a pilot program last year for children ages 3 to 5 residing at the Haven of Hope who were affected by domestic violence. ArtReach provided art activities that help children change their perception of the world around them through fun art activities in a safe environment and foster growth in other areas, such as motor skills and socialization. The program has expanded to include children from other pre-school programs.
