Love this The Seattle Times piece on Path with Art and the therapeutic value of art-making by Jayati Ramakrishnan:

Mental health professionals say art can help people delve into subjects that otherwise feel taboo - or that they may not even know how to talk about.

Hearts and Hands Help Those Most in Need by Aaron Crosetto x Path with Art

Aaron believes in the healing power of art and the universal language it provides for people to connect, empathize, and value each other.

“People experiencing homelessness wake up asking themselves, ‘how am I going to survive this day?’ But when those stressors get removed, they can begin to feel stronger…I used the image of the heart-in-hand, which is a symbol of charity given from the heart. The fingerprint conveys identity and is also tied to the cycle of incarceration that often leads to homelessness…The highest form of work in society, I believe, is teamwork and collaboration – a community that takes care of each other.”

Guitar by B. x Path with Art

“I am not defined by my history of homelessness. I am defined by my present – creating art.” B. believes that creating art has the power to change perceptions, and is an essential tool for self-expression, especially for those who have experienced trauma.

“I came up with the image of people using music to help themselves and I saw the guitar as a ladder…I wanted the people to be red to reflect the stress and crises that I, and many others, have experienced. I made the background color a sunrise, the point being: change is coming. Because you’ve got to have even the tiniest bit of hope, or you won't make it.”

Couch by Liana x Path with Art.

As a writer, visual artist, and music-lover, Liana uses art as a means for self-expression, empathy-building, and community-building.

“The pieces I made contained symbols of being outside; of being on the street. The couch reminded me of my neighborhood – I see a lot of people sleeping outside on couches that have been abandoned due to bedbugs…Being poor is exhausting. It stunts every part of your personal growth.

When you are trying to survive day-to-day, you tend to ignore things that aren’t overtly inherent to your survival. But art has been an outlet for me, and Path with Art has given me a community, stability, and routine. I hope this project will bring awareness to the issue of homelessness and will support organizations that really help people.”
