Make Art Together is a New Project in 2025
Make Art Together is a project that allows vulnerable people to create large, collaborative, freestyle paintings. The goal is to help them achieve their well-being by improving physical, emotional, and mental health through the act of creating images without pressure.
The Nanoom House is located in flushing, NY, a community, rehab center for vulnerable Korean and Dominican immigrants. Residents of this center have limited access to social and art activities due to financial difficulties and mental health issues.
