In celebration of North Texas Giving Day, we’re excited to announce what we have planned for our 2024 Community Art Project. For several years now we’ve been committed to giving back to other Denton area nonprofits, highlighting what it means to be a community. This year we’re thrilled to be working with Health Services of North Texas to beautify their new Pediatrics Health Center, located at 4308 Mesa Drive, Denton, TX.
This project will consist of the design and painting of 10 treatment rooms, the reception area, and various other spaces in the facility; currently the spaces are minimally decorated. Health Services of North Texas expressed their desire to improve their aesthetic to be more representative of the vibrant, fun-spirited, and safe space that their mission aims to deliver. The Art Room is delighted to meet this need in our community using our resources, which includes you.
What we’re doing
The overall theme of our design encompasses different ecosystems and the animals that live in them. Each treatment room will feature a different animal in its native habitat, alongside an affirmation to encourage mental health. Other areas of the clinic will draw inspiration from this theme. Here’s a mock-up:

we need your help
One of the many things that’s so great about our Community Art Project is that we cannot do it alone. We’re looking for community members to join us in our mission to bring this children's clinic to life.
We are in need of roughly 40 volunteers to offer their time and talent to the fulfillment of this project. Volunteers will be working on the painting of the design elements that will be featured in the treatment rooms. We have four painting sessions scheduled to complete these elements.
dates And sign up forms for painting sessions:
Saturday, August 10, from 3 to 8 p.m.
Sunday, August 11, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, August 17, from 3 to 8 p.m.
Sunday, August 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Each session will be held at The Art Room and will begin with a demonstration of the type of painting we’ll be doing. We’re asking that you commit to the entirety of the session to ensure the completion of the work. Each session will consist of 10 to 12 volunteers, and you’ll be working in small groups with guidance from project managers. Snacks and beverages will be provided in a fun, safe, and relaxed environment.
As we initiate this project and it evolves, there may be other opportunities for collaboration and community involvement. We’ll be providing regular updates on our exciting progress and opportunities through our social media and website.
other ways to support the art room
The Art Room’s commitment to Health Services of North Texas is to provide artwork that is safe, durable and hygienic for their young patients, which means we’re using high quality materials and extra time to realize these details. To help us accomplish this goal, we’d love to have you on board through your volunteerism and financial support. Throughout this North Texas Giving Day season we would appreciate a financial donation, in any amount that is meaningful to you, which would help us meet our goals, including our larger goal—to build community through creativity.
