The Art Room: Healing Through Creativity in Denton
A safe, inspiring space where art changes lives.
At The Art Room, creativity is more than making art—it's a pathway to healing. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit art studio that provides people living with mental health challenges with a free, safe, and educational space where they can create, connect, and grow. With the support of volunteer mental health professionals and artists, our members find community, confidence, and calm through the power of art.
Why Your Gift Matters Right Now
Our space is full — more people than ever are seeking the creative refuge we provide.
Costs are rising — rent, art supplies, and staff support have grown since our 2022 expansion.
Our goal for North Texas Giving Day 2025: Raise funds for stability through recurring donations so we can keep the doors open for everyone who needs us.
💡 Without your support, we can’t sustain this vital resource for Denton’s mental health community.
Our Growing Impact
New Evening Hours: Expanding access with one weekly night open studio.
Arts for Veterans: Launched January 2024, offering free weekly sessions for those who’ve served.
Community Art Projects: Each year, we create large-scale works donated to local nonprofits—from “1000 Cranes for Peace” to our 2025 project, "From These Roots," beautifying the American Legion Hall Senior Center with a mural, quilt, and bench with mosaic.
Integration in Denton: Partnering with other groups to bring public art to our city.

Mission
Our mission is to encourage healing and recovery through expressive art experiences for people who face mental health challenges. We aim to promote art as a means of coping and as a method for creating greater resilience in managing emotions and stress.
Needs
The primary need of The Art Room is for financial contributions and recurring donors to help us pay for our new, bigger space and expanded programming.
