Description
HAPI provides free art classes for individuals in mental health and addiction recovery centers across Tennessee.

HAPI organizes these classes, supplies art materials, and contracts art teachers to develop and teach curricula. Lessons, informed by mental health practices, cover design principles and perspectives using various mediums. Participants, often underserved and low-income, are encouraged to collaborate, express concepts through art, and experiment. These classes help them express feelings, develop self-respect, and build artistic skills.

Additionally, HAPI supports independent artists by assisting with application submissions, providing art supplies, and encouraging ongoing work. This support helps artists continue their creative journey and achieve their artistic goals.
