OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Arts Leadership: Path With Art is considered a model organization for metropolitan, national, and global efforts to utilize the arts as a change agent for individuals living in homelessness and crisis and as a powerful instrument to connect people to each other. We are being contacted by organizations in Seattle, Boston, LA, England and Japan to better understand the success of our program and how access to the arts can positively impact their own communities. To better share our experience, in 2016 we began developing an arts training program to guide cultural organizations in their own efforts to better serve vulnerable communities.”
