Beck Center welcomes and engages every individual who shares the goal of enhancing the human spirit through arts experiences. Beck Center believes in the transforming and transcending power of the arts, the strength of collaboration, an inclusive and safe environment, and diversity as an essential component in all Beck Center does. Beck Center is committed to continuous learning for deeper understanding of equity and inclusion, using this understanding to create an environment that connects all people, communities, and cultures through the arts.<\/p>\n<p>Using the power of art as a tool for healing,\u00a0<strong><em>the Superhero Project<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0empowers youth impacted by serious illnesses, disabilities, community trauma, and other complex mental health or medical needs. Kids are interviewed about who they are beyond their diagnosis. Professional illustrators create a poster of this superhero alter-ego, as described by the children. These images are visual representations of their strength, courage, creativity, and resilience. Families receive inspiring posters of their superheroes to treasure forever.<\/p>\n<p>Beck Center will offer a free art experience with Lisa Kollins, founder of\u00a0<strong><em>Superhero Project<\/em><\/strong>.
