Youth Arts for Humanity

I am a committee member of the nonprofit organization Youth Arts for Humanity, where middle and high school students use their artistic talents to inspire change and bring people together through the power of art. This year, we were invited to showcase our work at the Gale Free Library in Holden, MA, with the theme A Journey of Youth, Culture, and Identity.

This inaugural exhibition explores what it means to find one’s place in a world shaped by multiple cultures and influences. Through paintings, drawings, and photographs, young artists growing up between different traditions share stories of identity, resilience, and hope. Together, these works form a powerful collective voice, reflecting on heritage, transition, and the search for belonging.
