Announcing Fall Partnerships!

Every quarter brings new opportunities and challenges, so far this will include:

• Arts & Formation classes with the residents in recovery at Powerhouse Miniseries in Folsom, CA. These weekly classes provide a safe and creative space to process the healing they need and practice the tools they are learning in their life change program. Angela has designed curriculum to compliment the recovery programs course work and regularly offers new opportunities for participants to express themselves through a variety of creative mediums.
• After-school Arts classes with the students enrolled in the Folsom’s Hope Stars Program. These weekly classes combine a variety of art skills and Social Emotional Learning tools for students to develop their creative capacities for life. Each month Angela designs activities to mesh with the SEL themes the Stars program staff have mapped out to explore.
• Arts workshops at several locations in the Sacramento region. Already I have booked 3 arts workshops this fall with area churches by request. These classes are open to the public and will be posted on the website as registrations open. Check out the New Joy Arts classes & programs page or subscribe to the public calendar to see all the offerings available and register online!
• This Fall Angela will be joining the faculty of the Digital Communication, Art & Design department as an adjunct professor at Jessup University in Rocklin, CA.

At the end of August, Angela will be teaching applied art classes in the visual arts studio program and ART101 a foundational course on creativity. Besides instructing & inspiring students in the arts, she will also be offering internships & mentoring through New Joy Arts to students from a variety of majors interested in utilizing the arts in their current field of study.

There are SO many ways to impact our community through the arts & creative practice. Through consulting, coaching, partnering & teaching New Joy Arts is bringing the tools for meaningful growth to individuals of all ages. 

At the start of this year there are a few specific needs: 

• An ‘art cart’ wagon (mine is breaking down)
• A tablet e-reader (for note taking & library e-books)
• Student supplies (for NJA partner programs)

If you are interested in funding or gifting any of these needs, click on the items listed above or on the link below.

Monthly supporters make our programs free to all in need & paying participants fund our scholarship program. Become a patron & grow our resources!
