WeingART WORKs

On September 20th, Weingart Tower residents showcased their creativity during our first-ever WeingART WORKs event!  

We hosted an all-day Open Studio, including a do-it-yourself Home Décor workshop, where residents made personalized photo frames, coasters, and wall plaques for their new apartments. Twenty-one residents stopped by, and 10 residents stayed for the whole workshop.

Creative outlets like these offer numerous mental health benefits, fostering a sense of accomplishment and expression that helps people rebuild their lives. You can learn more about the enormous impact of creative activities in our blog here. At Weingart, we’re dedicated to promoting community building and wellness through exciting hands-on activities across our interim and permanent housing locations. Personal expression is crucial to ending the cycle of homelessness.
