Art creates community
Art has the power to enhance the wellbeing of individuals and communities–and encourage it to the fullest. The Front Porch Gallery provides a platform for innovative programs for Front Porch residents along with exhibitions showcasing the work of many other artists.
This year, the Gallery brought together residents from four San Diego-area communities to exchange ideas and connect. Another exhibition featured moving artwork by cancer patients completed through an expressive arts therapy program.
