Arts Unity Movement is a collective of artists, therapists and educators with a 

VISION

to use the therapeutic power of the arts to

 

MOVE  +  HEAL  +  UNITE

FOUNDED IN 2011

our vision was driven primarily by the work of our professional performers,

NewGround Theatre Dance Company.


Over time & through community collaboration,

our offerings evolved to include art therapies, music engagements,
creative movement & wellness workshops.

 

this evolution is reflected today in our 

3 PROGRAM AREAS

OUR MISSION

to deliver arts-based experiences that:


EDUCATE individuals with wellness knowledge,
