Inspiring Connection, Healing, and Hope Through Art
At Vital Art, we believe art isn’t just beautiful—it’s vital. For over a decade, we’ve used the power of creative expression to transform lives, bring people together, and build safer, more compassionate communities.
Through public murals, youth programs, healing-focused events, and community design, we are on a mission to:
Build connections that bring people together
Improve mental health and inspire hope
Encourage personal growth and self-expression
Strengthen communities and foster unity
Prevent violence and promote healthy, fulfilling lives
Inspire connection to wonderful regions, promoting tourism and increased cultural appreciation
We’ve placed dozens of murals in schools, public spaces, and healthcare settings—each one a message of kindness, healing, and hope. Our work is rooted in trauma-informed practice and supports efforts to reduce violence, address ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), and promote healing environments.
Art is universal. It transcends politics, religion, income, and background. It’s scientifically proven to heal, inspire, and improve lives—and we’re here to make sure those benefits reach as many people as possible.
As we grow, Vital Art continues to innovate with new, bold initiatives, including:
• SAVOR – An artisan food line starting with our Frosted Lemon Blueberry Loaf, available for weekly delivery. Beautifully made. Naturally nourishing.
• Creative Reflections (Now Available) – A workbook to enhance artistic expression, process emotions, and inspire.
• Vital Art Club – (Intro to Painting) A healing-centered community program offering regular gatherings to reduce isolation, support mental wellness, and promote self-expression. This program is currently offered through Redding Parks & Recreation for people of all ages.
• Vital Art Resort (Now Fundraising)
An immersive wellness and art destination where guests can rest, create, connect, and contribute to a more hopeful world while enjoying state-of-the-art immersive experiences that provide educational opportunities and encourage travel.
