SkyArt created Project Impact for youth ages 7 to 24 in response to the unprecedented need for mental health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants receive free individual and group art therapy with a licensed therapist. Art therapy can be especially effective for young people who may not have the vocabulary or experience to put their emotions into words. Through art therapy, SkyArt helps youth process trauma, isolation, depression, etc. Through Project Impact, we aim to help youth improve their overall sense of well-being, self-esteem, compassion and empathy for others.

The Skyway, for youth ages 7 to 13, is an innovative approach to our studio programs that blurs the lines of formal art education and focuses on the art-making as an inherently educational experience. It is a pedagogy based not on lesson plans or set projects, but on more open and more deeply engaging created processes. Guided by a collaborative cohort of resident teaching artists, participants are immersed in a world of imaginative possibilities, invited to explore a broad variety of creating forms and activities.
