Introducing Art Feeds Community Garden
Each year, Art Feeds provides access to therapeutic art for around 25,000 children by resourcing the grown-ups who care for them. With your help, we hope to give it more freely, and to even more children. Like an abundant Community Garden, our goal is to double our giving to 50,000 children.
Are you a teacher, school staff member, community organization leader, caregiver, or mental health professional seeking resources to support the mental and emotional well-being of the children you serve? You’re in the right place. This year we’ve expanded our Community Assist program, which offers access to lessons, training, and—when available—art supplies to equip those working directly with kids, right where they are.
Our curriculum web site, Art Feeds Online, includes 450+ lessons grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT, designed to support expression, emotional regulation, and mental wellness in accessible, creative ways for children ages 3-14. The beauty of our curriculum is that it’s an instant, easy-to-use resource—filled with engaging lessons, videos, printable worksheets, trauma-informed training, and more—ready to meet kids and their grown up teachers and caregivers wherever they are.
We provide the fertile soil.
You plant the seeds.
Abundance for all.
Beginning Wednesday July 23rd, we are accepting applications for teachers, community organization staff, and caregivers to apply with a simple application (intentionally a 10 minute process) to receive free resources for the 2025-2026 school year.
With the support of generous donors meeting us halfway, beginning in August 2025, every time $150 is given or raised to Art Feeds Community Garden Fundraiser, we’ll gift one Community Assist applicant a full year of Art Feeds Online, a $300 value. Additionally, for any outright purchase of an Art Feeds Online Membership we’ll give one away to a Community Assist applicant.Our goal is to equip 150 grown-ups—teachers, caregivers, and staff—with a supportive space for well-being and creativity, to impact 50,000 little artists this school year by providing this resource as school begins this fall.
As we raise the funds, applicants will get access in the order in which they apply. Our full curriculum and training will be given to YOU who is doing the daily work of care—with art supplies included as resources allow.
Much like a Community Garden, this is how we grow a culture of gratitude, interdependence, and creative reciprocity.
Thank you for joining us in planting seeds!

Applicants will be contacted in the order received as Art Feeds Online memberships are approved.
If art supply resources are available, we’ll coordinate directly. While membership and supplies are not guaranteed, we’re actively fundraising to support as many teachers and caregivers as possible. Questions? Email us at support@artfeeds.org.
