Path with Art

We're honored to share this KING 5 story about Path With Art Teaching Artist Donna Touth'le Helterbridle-Baker and her incredible work supporting Native women veterans through art. As both a veteran and mixed-media artist of Central Sierra Tuolumne Me-Wuk and Northern Yokut descent, Donna created Art Expressions, a healing space where Native women veterans can process their experiences through creative practice. "Art opened up a whole new avenue for me," Donna shares. We're grateful to have her wisdom and leadership in our creative community.

Art for All Ball 2024: reVIBE exceeded expectations by raising a record breaking $924,700!

What an amazing, fun night!  www.pathwithart.org Thank you to the Art for All Ball Host Committee, the Art for All Ball runway models, the Teaching Artists, Mary Mac Dahlke, Participant Artists and Creative Mentors, and the spectacular sponsors who made the night possible! #ArtIsTheRemedy

Transformation happens in community. Through painting, music, writing, and more, we know that art isn't just about creating—it's about connecting, healing, and evolving together. We believe everyone deserves to experience the transformative power of creative expression.

"It's a revelatory organization that changes people's lives." "It's about ideas." "It's about people expressing themselves in really interesting ways, saying things they don't know how to say in any other format." When we asked attendees at our recent Art For All Ball what Path with Art means to them, their responses illuminated the transformative power of arts access. From providing a safe space for creative expression to serving as a catalyst for healing, these testimonials from community members, healthcare professionals, and artists showcase the vital intersection of arts, health, and social justice. Thank you to everyone who made this year's ball a success and continues to support our mission of breaking down barriers to arts engagement. Your commitment helps us build a more equitable, creative, and connected community. Join us in making art accessible to all. Learn more about our impact and ways to get involved at pathwithart.org

Oh what a night! Saturday’s #artforallball was legendary. We came, we saw, we auctioned, we watched community luminaries sashay down the runway - but most importantly we celebrated in community and raised essential funds to ensure Path with Art’s programs remain free and accessible for all!
