Arts From the Heart (AFTH) is celebrating our 14th year of providing cultural art experiences to Wimberley youth, developing their creative thinking abilities and appreciation for the arts. The benefit of these skills and appreciation are carried with them into adulthood.
Wimberley is a small town, but the number of students we have been able to reach over our 14 years is inpressive. We have held over 1,000 workshops and have worked with over 2,000 students through our after school workshops, field trips, assemblies and student art exhibits. As Wimberley’s population grows, we look forward to growing our programs as well.
We are the recipients of the University of Texas Performing Arts Outreach Program which provides many of our older students with complimentary tickets and transportation to attend major cultural art events. Additionally, we have a similar relationship with the college of Fine Arts & Communication at Texas State University.
AFTH relies solely on donations to sustain our efforts and are a 501(c)(3)non-profit organization. Although we have suggested donation amounts for classes, no child is ever turned away for inability to contribute.
We bring art to the children of Wimberley and encourage them to bring their art to the community by giving them opportunities to show their work. AFTH has developed partnerships and resources that help make this happen and feel strongly that part of the education for our children is the message of community involvement.
To learn more about our organization, to donate, or to become involved, call 512-847-8500 or email us at afth_artsfromtheheart.org.
