Founder and President
Hello! I am Sakshi Patel and I am currently a 10th grader at South Warren High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky. When I was in 7th grade I visited a special needs school in India, and I realized they didn’t have an art department, and the only classes and extracurriculars they had was tutoring for math, science, language, and history. And they only had those classes taught there as well. The students residing there had no other ways to express their interests and feelings. I soon came to a senses that because many students struggle with things at home and mental health, art is a way of getting away from those things and sorting yourself out. I always understood the ways art can help young students articulate their ways in life. As a student myself interested in neuroscience, I’ve learned that art brings a major benefit in adolescences’ growing stages. Art brings many joys in life and can be a way out for people.
