Neighborhood Arts Program

    The Neighborhood Arts Program (NAP) was founded in 1992 
    as a way to bring the arts, in the form of classes, 
    performances, workshops, and exhibitions, to Fort Worth's 
    low-income neighborhoods. Research revealed in 1991 that 
    many of our citizens, especially those living in low-income  .
    areas, were not visiting art museums, attending arts 
    performances, or providing arts education for themselves 
    or their children. NAP was formed to develop and deliver 
    the arts to children and families in low-income 
    neighborhoods, to partner with other agencies in 
    neighborhood revitalization, to encourage participation 
    in the arts as an antidote to antisocial behavior, and 

    to suggest paths to self-esteem and civic pride.


    NAP provides safe, creative, and free or very low-cost 
    after-school, evening, and weekend activities, taught 
    by professional artists, for at-risk children and then- 
    families. Over thirty-six local arts groups are funded 
    by the Arts Council every year to present high-quality 
    arts instruction and presentations throughout city 
    neighborhoods. Many of the arts education programs  
    have evolved into professional arts ensembles, employing   .
    students and professionals alike, who then perform at 
    neighborhood arts centers. The program served 50,000 
    children and family members last year, and we hope 
    to serve even more in 2000.

As you know, PTSD is an extremely debilitating mental condition that is difficult to treat. Its symptoms, which include intrusive thoughts and hyper-arousal as well as avoidance and emotional numbing, respond very well to art therapy practices. We have a body of anecdotal evidence that suggests that art therapy is effective in diagnosing and treating PTSD from the decades of work art therapists have undertaken in military and veterans hospitals in the past decades. I was able to see first hand its effectiveness with veterans through my work at Walter Reed. I know from my experience that art therapy can vastly expedite the treatment of PTSD allowing more of our solders to effectively heal their physiological trauma. -[]- -[]- -[]- -[]- {Back to TOP: Music/Art Therapy List}
