    Describe the challenge you want to address:
    In the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn, there exists a profound desire to cultivate transformative spaces for the underserved and often overlooked members of our community. Recognizing the power of creative expression as a catalyst for healing, our vision extends beyond traditional arts classes. We aspire to provide a sanctuary where these community members can not only explore their cultural heritage through the lens of the arts but also find therapeutic support to navigate and unravel the complexities of their lived experiences. The aim is to offer more than just a creative outlet; it is an initiative grounded in the understanding that artistic endeavors can serve as a poignant tool for processing and healing from the deep-seated traumas that may linger within. Through these cultural arts services, we aspire to empower and uplift the residents of Bushwick, fostering resilience and a sense of identity that transcends the challenges of their surroundings.\n\nIn recognition of this challenge, we would like to expand our cultural creative arts programming in Bushwick as a way to foster community and take advantage of our community center facilities.
    Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
    The idea is to engage community residents in a creative, therapeutic process where they can unpack some of their traumatic lived experiences, and start the journey of healing, the journey back to themselves. We will recruit community members who are interested in exploring this journey by accessing cultural creative arts classes in the areas of theatre, music, spoken word, visual arts and dance.\n\nThe approach will be to meet the residents where they are in their process, and provide the tools, support and mentorship needed, so they can share the stories of their lives and raise awareness of issues they may have faced, and challenges overcome. Classes will be held weekly at times that are most convenient to the populations served, be it morning, afternoon or evening.\n\nThis will culminate in an end of year sharing of devised and created work at our \"Journey through the Arts\" event.
