ABOUT US

The Power of Art and Community

At Backstreet Arts, our mission is simple:

To provide a safe, inclusive, and creative environment to anyone who may benefit from the healing power of art and community.

Founded by artist and advocate Kim Ramey,

Our studio is grounded in empathy, acceptance, and creativity. We welcome individuals from all walks of life but especially reach out to adults 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; unhoused and limited-income individuals who cannot afford art classes, individuals in recovery, and anyone who wants to practice art in a comfortable, non-intimidating, inclusive atmosphere.
