MISSION STATEMENT
Gingersnap Inclusive Arts is a small, woman-operated non-profit organization committed to helping children and young adults with neurodiversities and mental health challenges such as anxiety learn strategies to help manage some of these challenges through art.
M
MAKE
Making art allows children the opportunity to learn how to make critical judgements and make mistakes in a safe and fun environment, boosting not only creativity but self esteem.
E
EXPRESS
Through creativity, children learn how to express who they are, their feelings and thoughts, and complex ideas.
S
SEE
Through the practice of creating and creative problem solving, children learn to see that there is more than one solution to a problem, there are alternative ways of seeing things, and to persist.
H
HAVE
Creating art is conducive to kids having a growth mindset because each element of art builds upon the last. Art also allows people to hold more than one complex idea at a time and convey those concepts creatively.
