Art Therapy Programs Give Hope to Veterans Facing PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder is common among veterans, with 10% of men and nearly 20% of women reporting having symptoms at some point in their lives. But could exposure to more arts programming be the needed prescription for those who have served our country?
This Art After Hours is a Real Peach
Dear Friends of Path with Art,
This month’s Art After Hours is a real peach! On March 19th, join us along with guests from Pacific Northwest Ballet for an evening of joyful movement, inspired by PNB’s upcoming performances of Momotaro.
Guest artist Naomi Glass will guide us in exploring the idea of being “born from a peach”: unexpected beginnings, reinvention, and courage.
Expect a gentle, low‑impact movement activity rooted in play and imagination. This activity is designed to be accessible to all bodies and experience levels, with options to participate standing or seated.
Art After Hours (or AAH, as we like to call it) is Path with Art’s monthly opportunity to gather and create—together. Seasoned artists and beginners alike are welcome in this creative third space, where we explore art and creativity with friends new and old. You’re invited to participate in our guided art activity (materials provided) or bring your own work-in-progress (sewing, screenplay, sketching, you name it).
This event is free! Please register below as we have limited capacity. If you have any special accommodation requests, please use the RSVP form to let us know in advance.
* For those who want to meet up before AAH for no-host food and/or drink, come hang out next door at Mammoth. They are open until 9 pm and would love to see you.

Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Newsletter
At the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods, the mission is deeply rooted in building authentic and trusting relationships with Seattle’s diverse communities. These connections are crucial for engaging effectively with communities across the city, many of which have historically had little trust in government.
Whether fostering equity in Seattle’s P-Patches, amplifying community voices through strategic partnerships, investing in community-designed wealth-building projects, or supporting revitalization through preservation, these relationships allow the Department of Neighborhoods to prioritize community needs and ensure accountability to their guiding principles of racial equity and community-driven solutions.
