Awesome Arts
MASC
“ I don ’ t know where I would have gone in life if it wasn ’ t for the kind of programming Awesome Arts offered me as a teen . It was my escape route for a lot of the difficulties I was experiencing . I found that it brought me healthier ways to express my frustrations , it gave me a space to laugh and write even if it was once a week . Art is a form of therapy for people like me that didn ’ t have the opportunity to talk to professionals through rough times . I can honestly say Awesome Arts saved me in a way .”
Akuol Luala has participated in 10 years of Awesome Arts programming and now is a proud member of the MASC Board
