"Making room for the arts in health, wellness, and education"

Haiti Service Learning 

The Haiti Service Learning Program immerses participants in the Haitian culture through readings, lectures, films, cultural excursions, and language practices that culminate into service learning trips (of varying lengths) to Haiti. The program includes various creative projects, a research/reflection component, and the opportunity for participants of the program to contribute to our children’s Camp for Art Expression in Haiti.
​

Children's Health and Wellness

The Children’s Art and Wellness Program was developed to increase accessibility to mental and emotional health information for children in rural Haiti, and includes our “Camp for Art Expression”. The camp currently serves children (ages 4-14) from five elementary schools in Haiti, The one week day-camp focuses on the importance of mental and emotional health, using various creative modalities such as visual art, music, and dance. 

Teacher's Art Intergration

The Arts in Education Teacher Training Program provides teachers and school administrators in Haiti opportunities to learn, observe, and create strategies for utilizing the arts in schools. The program creates dynamic environments in which teachers are encourages to explore the arts themselves as they consider the benefits, methods, and challenges of developing more opportunities for creativity in the classroom. 
The goal of this program is to bring educators in the community together, and collaboratively work on strategies for integrating more creative modalities into the manner in which they teach their curriculum to students. The program strives for participants to understand how the creativity of teachers and students may be beneficial in the classroom and promote academic, behavioral, and social success for students.

​Expressive Arts Place was established in 2015 to provide health and education services to local and international communities through the arts. While we officially formed as a company in 2015, our programs began running in 2013, and for the past several years we've offered various collaborative art programs in local and international communities to educate children about mental and emotional health, bring educators in the communities together to collaboratively work on strategies for integrating more creative art approaches into classroom curriculum, and to train graduate and undergraduate students interested in working internationally to facilitate meaningful conversations and connections through the arts. Our service are currently being performed virtually only due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
