What is the art room?
The Art Room provides a safe, supportive studio environment for adults with mental health challenges to explore artistic expression and the development of artistic skills. Our visitors will be supported in the discovery that the creative process has therapeutic value in reducing stress, in promoting self-discovery, and in providing a positive means for emotional expression. We hope to demonstrate that engaging in art is therapeutic.
The Art Room is located in Denton, Texas.
announcing: from these roots
We’re excited to announce our 2025 Community Art Project, From These Roots, and we’re hoping you’ll join us in the creativity!
As part of our mission and in concert with our North Texas Giving Day fundraising campaign, The Art Room historically has given back to the community by donating large scale artworks to other Denton area nonprofits, collaborating with community members to design and create the artwork, while highlighting what it means to be a community.
This year we’ll be working with the American Legion Hall Senior Center (ALH) to beautify their space and to elevate the underrepresented voices of seniors, Veterans, and the Black community by celebrating the history of the American Legion Hall and its importance to Southeast Denton. We’ve titled our project From These Roots, expressing our desire to simultaneously honor our elders, the history of the ALH Senior Center, the gift of wisdom that the past brings us–now and in the future– and how meaningful social connections fuel our well-being.
We Need Your Help!
We’d love for you to join us in creating this year’s artworks. You can participate in several ways—by picking up art kits to take home and create on your own, or by joining us in-person on one of our scheduled days. Read on to learn more!
Support The Art Room
We truly believe that art and creative expression can bring healing and recovery to people’s lives. It’s an honor to be able to operate a space in which both can be nurtured, but we can’t do it alone. Thanks to our sponsors, community partners, donors, and volunteers for helping us keep the dream alive.
The Art Room is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation under the name The ArtFullness Project, so you can make a tax deductible donation, or you can donate through organizations like Amazon Smile (see link below) and North Texas Giving Day.
