our work

The Starving Artist initiative offers and partakes in artist residencies that provide a supportive environment for artists with lived experiences to explore and platform their voices. These residencies nurture artistic development and provide a space for artists to explore their creativity and express their experiences. By offering this opportunity, the initiative not only supports the growth and healing of individual artists but also creates a community that values and celebrates the voices of creative and talented indviduals.

The initiative conducts workshops focused on the intersection of art and advocacy. These workshops provide participants with a deeper understanding of fostering their creative voices and their impact. By combining art, education, and dialogue, the workshops foster empathy, challenge misconceptions, and promote healing and self-expression. They empower individuals to use art as a tool for personal growth, resilience, and advocacy.

The Starving Artist initiative actively participates in public engagements such as speaking engagements at events, conferences, schools, and organizations. Through these engagements, the initiative raises awareness about the healing power of art. By sharing personal stories and insights, it promotes understanding, empathy, and support for individuals to foster their creative voices and contributes to a more compassionate society.
