Since its inception in the spring of 2012, Vital Art has been dedicated to enhancing access to the arts through the creation of all-inclusive events that unite individuals across all art forms.
In observance of World Peace Day 2017, we organized a Festival of Peace and have since offered over 120 art programs to disadvantaged youth and those struggling with illness and depression. Our efforts have included the completion of over 20 murals throughout Northern California.
At Vital Art, we firmly believe that art provides the greatest opportunity to create a better world and are committed to utilizing our platform to effect positive change in communities across the globe.
Thank you for following our journey and supporting our efforts!
