Incarcerated youth and prisoners
From heartboundministries.com/project-art ↗About this program
Project A.R.T. (Art to Rehabilitate and Teach) uses art and music lessons to build positive relationships between prisoners and art instructors who provide mentoring and guidance.
Sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole, Fred served 36 years behind bars. During that time, he discovered his faith in God and uncovered a passion for painting.
With the support of HeartBound Ministries, Fred was able to successfully reintegrate into society after his release. Now, he's come full circle - returning to prison not as an inmate, but as a mentor. Through HeartBound Ministries, Fred teaches painting to incarcerated youth, using art as a bridge to healing, hope, and transformation.
