Who We Are
Healing Arts Project, Inc. (HAPI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals in mental health and addiction recovery through the power of art. By providing access to creative experiences and artistic expression, HAPI helps participants find healing, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Our Mission

Our Vision
HAPI exists to fill a gap in recovery and rehabilitation services by providing free art classes taught by professional artists, art exhibition and publication opportunities, and outreach events. These opportunities help participants express and externalize their personal struggles as they create art to tell their story, promoting healing in themselves and understanding in the community.
Our Impact
HAPI serves approximately 500 individuals in mental health and addiction recovery each year. 90% say they feel greater self-confidence, comfort in social situations, ability to cope, and sense of self-worth as a result of being involved in HAPI's artistic programs.
