About Us
Mission
The Boldly Creating Life Foundation’s mission is to serve, help and empower youths, adults, groups, and communities by providing a safe caring space where individuals who are going through difficult times spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially can find support through healing, learning, and the creative arts. Our foundation fosters human growth, self-development, self-confidence, and a deeper exploration of the individual self.
It is our belief that individuals of all ages can benefit from the various forms of creative self expression through the use of imagination. We provide the expressive therapeutic art modalities such as drawing, painting, dancing, music, drama, poetry, storytelling, journaling, and other physical activity modalities to serve, help, and empower youth, adults, groups, and communities.

"I wonder how many students, without access to art and music, will never have the opportunity to prove just how gifted they are. I wonder why more people don’t understand that art and music are more than expressions of emotion or talent – they are bona fide intellectual exercises." - Nicole Sasso, Veteran elementary school teacher
