 We would like to thank everyone that was able to come out and help with the Art Angels Resource Table at the Women's Summit Texas. We really enjoyed everyone's enthusiasm and efforts!
This year's summit was an amazing event, with guest speakers such as Sheila Jackson Lee and powerful discussions of empowerment, health awareness, and community enrichment. The expo provided an opportunity for Art Angels to share information about MOCAH programs while promoting social wellness. In addition, Art Angel volunteers created and dispersed puzzle earrings.
