ART4HEALING & STUDIO ART
ART SPEAKS WHERE WORDS CANNOT.
ART4HEALING
Certified in an established program called "Art4Healing", Crescent Moon Center's director will facilitate a theme-based two-hour art workshop using acrylics, watercolors, pastels and collage. It is a fast-paced painting project created around themes and questions within the themes, some allowing only 2 minutes to respond to. At the end of each exercise, participants are encouraged to share about their painting experience and the emotions involved. This is an educational exercise, and no prior art experience is necessary.
STUDIO ART
Center participants will have access to a well-equipped art studio which allows self-expression through art in an unstructured environment, selecting from a range of materials such as paint, clay, etc. An Artist in Residency will provide a peer mentorship to all particpants.

“Crescent Moon creates a safe and inclusive space for people to be supported.
Diversity and belonging are central to our values.
As a nonprofit, Crescent Moon is dedicated to improving access to holistic wellness resources and programs for diverse, underserved and under-resourced communities.
Donations are critical to fund programs for those who need access these life-changing experiences,” said Karen Kahn, Founder, President,& Executive Director of Crescent Moon Center.
Young Adult Fund
Young adulthood is a pivotal stage in life, marked by big life decisions, complex transitions, and relationship challenges. Behavioral health issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance-use can hinder their ability to succeed academically and build healthy relationships.
Crescent Moon Center empowers at-risk young adults through transformative expressive art workshops, providing a safe space for self-discovery and healing. Workshops encourage participants to dive into creative expression as a way to manage emotions and reflect on life experiences. These workshops offer more than just an artistic outlet; they serve as a peer-support group, opportunity to learn new skills for wellness, improving confidence and emotional well-being.
We believe that every young adult deserves the support needed to navigate life challenges and achieve their full potential. Our experiential workshops can empower young adults to discover their path toward resilience and growth.
If you give $125 monthly in 2025, you can sponsor a young adult and provide them with monthly workshops for the entire year. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to provide a monthly workshop program specifically for young adults in our community. Your donation makes a difference in their lives!
$1500 - Sponsor a year of monthly workshops for a young adult
$615 - Cover the cost of staff and supplies for a workshop
$300 - Buy the art supplies for a workshop
$125 - Fund a workshop scholarship for a young adult
