Past Painters of the Month
Jobert
Sometimes what appears a miracle is just a better way of seeing. When a child is deemed deaf, or blind, or unable to speak, and this same child, once they get A.R.T., demonstrate they can hear, or see, or speak? Read More
AJ
The art AJ makes he can't explain. They insisted he explain it, but he couldn't, and so they moved on without him. Read More
Isabell Villacis

Isabell: Picasso.
TL: What do you like about his work? Read More
Danielle Conti
When my book came out Beacon Press had me come up to Boston. While I was there I had lunch with Paul Solman from the News Hour with Jim Lehrer. He's a smart guy. Read More
Dennis Bernhardt
Did you ever meet someone who always makes everything you do together better than good? I mean when working with this person you get the clear sense the world is fresh and good? Read More
Hamilton, Ohio
Emily saw the vultures circle over the dying town, the brown river still. But she knew a particular place in this town where life was lighting up like the sun. Read More
Painter of the Month 'Co-creation'
All you have to do is take two seconds to look into their eyes, and there they are, as alive, as vital as you or me. Read More
Rafael Garcia
Interview with the Painter of the Month: Rafael Garcia. A.R.T. has worked with Rafael, a Trenton New Jersey native, since he was sixteen years old. Read More
Ronesha
You've seen how people dig at the concrete, the brick debris of a major earthquake with their bare hands? Desperately digging, their fingers bloody... Read More
Vicky
Vicky took to the laser system the first day. She painted with a mesmerizing rhythm, covering her canvas with a web of green. Next session she did the same. Read More
Hector, the Bronx NYC
It looks like 2009 is going to be a great year for A.R.T. We have the underwriting to do six more new program start-ups around the country. Read More

Chip McCarthy
Chip rocks. Among the most physically challenged of all those artists we work with, he did the A.R.T. breakout the first five minutes he gained access to our techniques... Read More
Danielle Kaitlin Urso
This month's Painter of the Month is the remarkable Dani. Danielle Kaitlin Urso. Dani is non-verbal, and uses a wheelchair, and yes, you'd be making a big mistake if you were to underestimate her. As her dad Vinnie reported, A.R.T. has created a monster. Read More
Christine Cassick
Last week we were in Sarasota launching our sixth A.R.T. Florida program, working with our wonderful new Partners: Manasota ARC. This young woman, Christine, Crissy, a TOTAL natural abstract painter, immediately directed the cutting of a five foot square canvas, had it painted all bright red, then kicked into gear knocking out this bold painting you see as the August 2007 painting of the month. Read More
Nathaniel
In a truly moving, all-but-overwhelming updraft of emotion, A.R.T. watched the artist Nathaniel appear from nothingness. He's eleven. As Nathaniel was rolled into the room, he had no way to express who he was. He was the one they told us could not signal yes or no. Read More
Dennis Bernhardt
Take a look at Dennis. Dennis Bernhardt. When he learned we thought so much of his sophisticated stripe paintings, that one would be 'Painting of the Month' a huge smile broke out on his face. Read More
Rick
Painting of the Month this month is 'Painter of the Month.' His very first painting, the story is not so much of a polished aesthetic product, but the liberation of a kid who seemed to have no chance. They call him Ricky. We call him Rick. Read More
