Our I Am Art summer series is a special 5-week pet portraiture workshop starting on July 10th that invites students to express creativity through the lens of animal companionship and care. During this hands-on series, students will be guided step-by-step in creating their very own pet portrait — whether a family pet at home or a favorite creature.

This edition of I Am Art continues our mission of fostering healing, self-expression, and confidence through creativity. Centering on the love and empathy shared between young people and animals, this series emphasizes emotional connection, patience, and detail to nurture safe spaces for growth, imagination, and transformation.
