Art that builds connection, dignity, and change.
Brush With the Law is a community arts nonprofit that brings people together through public art, installations, beautification projects, and collaborative creative work.
We work with artists, volunteers, students, advocates, and people impacted by recovery, disability, behavioral health challenges, and the justice system to create projects that strengthen communities and make spaces feel more welcoming, meaningful, and alive.
