Bringing Art back to Life!

The Art Thing Collaborative, Inc. is a social arts organization on a mission to bring people together by bringing art to the people!

We imagine a world where art is everywhere. In our streets. Our schools. On the corners of our everyday lives.

A world where art brings people closer, turning towns into true communities by reflecting our stories and celebrating who we are—together.
