The Art Room’s
2026 Community Art Project:
Welcoming Spaces

Beautifying Denton County MHMR Child and Adolescent Center

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.

Our 2026 Community Art Project, “Welcoming Spaces,” features community-created art installations that will beautify the Denton County MHMR Child and Adolescent Center.

This project will elevate the building’s waiting room, the playroom (childrens’ waiting room), family meeting room, and hallways. Walls will be painted with landscapes and decorated with painted wood trees, plants, and animals; we’ll create an origami mobile; and there will be interactive elements including crocheted stuffed animals, a flipboard about moods, a chalkboard, an electric “watering can” that lights up flowers, and a custom coded game, as well as installations on hallway floors.
