Art Healing Hearts is a non-profit charity organization that serves a unique purpose: To help people process grief and pain through artistic expression. From acrylic to oil paints, we believe that expressing yourself through the visual arts promotes catharsis and rejuvenation.
About Us
We go where the need is! Because participants in our program often have traumatic brain injuries, severe mental illness, and struggles with addiction — we bring healing opportunities to them in various facilities around the country.
People of all ages experiencing homelessness and/or abuse.
Elderly people and others in long-term care centers.
Young people who are confined in correctional facilities.
People living in residential care for mental health struggles.
Our Story
Art Healing Hearts began with one brushstroke of healing. Founded by Lu Monteleone, the program was born from her personal journey of coping with the loss of a loved one. Through painting, Lu discovered a powerful way to process grief and release emotional pain. This transformative experience ignited her passion to share the healing power of art with others, and Art Healing Hearts was born—a place where creativity meets recovery.
Healing Hearts
With just a few strokes of a brush, lives are transformed. Hundreds of people have found inspiration through our program, continuing to paint as a form of healing and self-expression. Some have even taken their art to the next level, becoming professionals and living their creative dreams. A little paint truly goes a long way.
Support Our Mission
We can't do this without you! Art supplies are the heart of our programs, and your support makes it all possible. A $20 donation provides the brushes, paint, and canvases needed to spark creativity in one of our participants. Together, we can keep the colors flowing and continue bringing art to those who need it most.
