As always, the health of our community is a top priority. Earlier this week, Alameda County implemented a "shelter In place" ordinance until April 7th, and AHC is strictly adhering to all guidelines. We are keeping our May exhibition date, contingent on the recommendations of Alameda County. We hope to host a positive event, showcasing amazing work from our youth artists, and re-connecting with you in-person. If the event is rescheduled, you will be notified via email, Facebook and Twitter.

Join Us for ArtEsteem's 22nd Annual Art Exhibition!
Attitudinal Healing Connection (AHC) invites the public to ArtEsteem’s 22nd Annual Art Exhibition, Reflections of Me and My World “Planting the Seeds of Change” at our location in West Oakland.
The exhibit event will feature over 100 pieces of art created by children and youth, ages 4 to 19. The work will be for sale and students receive 50% of proceeds, with the remaining 50% going towards ArtEsteem programs and scholarships. ArtEsteem students and alumnus will be in attendance to help host the event.
“Planting the Seeds of Change” is the culmination of a year long effort, and a celebration of the thoughtful and creative work produced through our programs. ArtEsteem serves up to 2500 students a year, providing art enrichment classes with a focus on social and emotional development while supporting educational excellence across academic disciplines. ArtEsteem students are encouraged to see themselves as influential, and to create art through an environmental and social justice lens.
ArtEsteem is run by Attitudinal Healing Connection (AHC). AHC, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, works to empower individuals to be self-aware and inspired through art, education and creativity, making positive choices to break the cycle of violence for themselves and their communities.
