Backstreet Community Arts (BSA) exists to provide a safe, welcoming, creative environment to anyone who may benefit from the healing powers of art and community. BSA reaches out to anyone who may not be aware of or have access to the proven healing power of art: those who have experienced trauma, illness, or grief; veterans; homeless and limited-income individuals who cannot afford art classes, those who are going through the recovery process, and anyone who wants to practice art in a comfortable, non-intimidating, inclusive atmosphere.
