Artful Mind is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization benefiting those experiencing barriers to mental wellness through art.

We have been a mobile mental health art program since 2023. We are ready to secure a place to call home, where we can offer more classes and services to meet the needs of our vulnerable populations as we generate revenue for more services.

Becoming a monthly or annual member with Artful Mind brings us closer to reaching our community base and gives you our upcoming community events. Monthly donations support our in-home services program as well as managing operational costs.

We welcome direct purchase donations and would like to share our growing wish list for art class supplies, our mobile art program, event props, and operational needs.

Our vision is to promote wellness and connection through the power of art—making creative expression accessible to everyone, whether in group settings, one-on-one, or through our expanding partnerships across San Diego County.
Artful Mind envisions a thriving, inclusive art community where creativity supports mental wellness. Through our studio and mobile outreach, we bring accessible, therapeutic, creative art experiences to those facing mental health and disability challenges—free or low-cost.
Our classes offer safe spaces to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and build social connections while adding to your art toolbox. Participants are encouraged to explore their creativity, develop artistic and professional skills, and showcase their work in community art shows.
At Artful Mind, we believe art is transformation. Through every brushstroke, individuals find confidence and build hope.

The mission of Artful Mind is to significantly improve the mental health and well-being of adult community members experiencing mental illness through the engagement of therapeutic enrichment art services and exhibitions.

Artful Mind evolved after Jessica began the Art Shows in 2022 at the County of San Diego. While working with adults living with mental illness, Jessica witnessed art being used as a common tool to help navigate difficult symptoms, work through traumas, and instigate healing. It became evident there was not accessible platform in San Diego to showcase art where people could share intimate experiences around their mental health journeys. Jessica's desire to aide San Diego's vulnerable populations with her passion for art, strengths in empathy and connectedness, makes Artful Mind a safe space to create and show art.
