The Artistic Rehabilitative Therapeutic* (ART) Initiative is a UC Santa Cruz student-run organization that conducts weekly therapeutic art projects with the women in the Santa Cruz County Jails.
Our mission is to pair art creation with coping skill education in a supportive and collective space in order to tackle issues regarding recidivism and idleness.
This program hopes to address inmate individual short-term and long-term needs in order to create positive future outcomes. The inmates are provided creative outlets and art as a healing tool to improve overall mental health and prevent idleness.
This program provides a reciprocal learning relationship with the inmates and facilitators, aiming to educate and heal through creating self-esteem, fostering creativity, and empowering a critical consciousness within a supportive community.
