Organizations We Serve

Free Arts has been a wonderful resource to the agency I work for: Conerstone. The work they do makes a positive impact on the children we serve, who have lived through Domestic Violence.

Free Arts provides these services at no charge to partnering organizations. With limited resources to face an enormous challenge, these organizations need all the help they can get in achieving their goals.
