Programs
Brush With the Law creates collaborative art experiences that bring people together through creativity, storytelling, and shared expression—working across schools, community spaces, and diverse environments.
Brush With the Law is a community-based art initiative rooted in service, collaboration, and creative expression.
Art Classes & Workshops
Our art classes and workshops are flexible, inclusive, and designed for a wide range of community settings. Participants explore creative techniques while building confidence, focus, and connection with others.
Past and current art class partners include Montgomery County Correctional Facility, HopeWorx in Norristown, Central Behavioral Health, Camp Crossroads at St. Luke’s Penn Foundation, and CHOC through Resources for Human Development.
Community Art Projects
Brush With the Law creates collaborative art projects that invite people to work together toward something visible, meaningful, and shared. These projects may include murals, painted objects, public art, group installations, or creative beautification efforts.
Community art projects help participants see their work become part of a larger story while adding color, care, and connection to shared spaces.
Wellness Toolboxes
Wellness Toolboxes are creative support projects designed to help people through times of stress, trauma, transition, or uncertainty. Participants can decorate and fill their toolbox with supportive reminders, resources, meaningful objects, photos, affirmations, favorite items, or anything that helps them feel grounded.
This program combines art-making with reflection and practical emotional support, giving participants something personal they can return to when they need encouragement.
Mythology, Folklore & Visual Storytelling
In this workshop, participants read Greek mythology, folklore, or traditional stories together and discuss what the stories are teaching us. Through guided questions, the group explores the characters, choices, conflicts, morals, and ideas in the story, then connects those themes to modern life.
After the discussion, participants respond visually through drawing, painting, collage, mixed media, or other creative materials. This workshop encourages reflection, imagination, critical thinking, and personal expression while making ancient and traditional stories feel relevant today.
History-Based Hands-On Workshops
Some Brush With the Law workshops connect art-making with history, symbolism, and shared meaning. In one workshop, participants learned about hobo glyphs from the Depression era and carved the symbols into wood panels using a Dremel tool.
Projects like this invite participants to explore visual language, resilience, communication, and personal expression through hands-on materials.
