for
holistic
well-being
Artscape (est. 2016) is a non-governmental organization with a primary focus on using interventions based on expressive arts therapy to promote holistic well-being, which has a long-term positive impact on an individual’s academic, social and professional life.
Expressive Arts Therapy is an intervention combining psychology with creative art tools (movement, music, drama, storytelling, etc.) to promote personal growth and healing.
Communities We Serve
Artscape largely works with individuals from underserved communities, who lack access to mental health information and services due to various systemic barriers such as poverty, lack of education, social stigma, etc.
Sessions are largely provided pro bono or at a nominal fee to vulnerable and marginalized groups mobilized by non-profit partners, and funded via external grants and revenue from corporate engagements.
Partnership-Based Operational Model
Artscape leverages its robust network of partner organizations to reach diverse beneficiary groups and implements interventions in spaces most accessible to the community.
