Kids have big feelings that aren’t always easy to express. Just like ART they are MESSY.
At Our Daily Gnome Creative Arts Center, we help navigate those big feelings through fun art lessons, workshops and support groups.
COME GET MESSY with US!

As a supportive and preventative means of enhancing children’s mental health awareness, acceptance, and wellness, our mission is to use the creative arts to activate healing, spark creativity, foster learning, empower individuals, and cultivate community connections. By offering a range of creative artistic activities and programs, we aim to empower children, promote self-expression, and enhance their overall well-being. Or more simply put- we are Kicking Anxiety with Creativity!
We envision empowering youth and adults to reach their full potential by bringing their voices forward to be heard, seen, and appreciated by the community through innovative and creative arts programming. We see art as a catalyst for releasing trauma, fostering resilience, and sparking social change. Individuals can be heard and respected when they create art in a safe community, replacing anxiety, depression, violence, and shame with safety and hope.
We believe in empowerment through creativity and work to build a framework that helps people find their voice, their strength, and their resilience, thus instilling hope in the future.
We create a respectful space that is free from harm and judgment and inspires hope.
We recognize the power of creativity and its undeniable impact on propelling people forward in life. We believe everyone has the right to be creative and try new things.
We appreciate the diversity and complexity of people's identities, perspectives, circumstances, and experiences.
We are firm believers that collaboration improves our ability to learn and brings about positive changes in the community.
