About

Founded by Nounie Siy in 2025, Atelier for Healing is a vibrant nonprofit 501(c)(3) community space dedicated to promoting mental health wellness through the transformative power of art.

We believe that creativity can be a profound pathway to healing. At our studio, we provide a welcoming and supportive environment where individuals of all backgrounds can explore their artistic voice, connect with others, and experience the restorative benefits of self-expression.

What We Do

  • Workshops: Guided sessions that nurture creativity while fostering self-awareness and mindfulness.

  • Exhibitions: Showcasing works that highlight the intersection of art and healing, giving a platform to diverse voices.

  • Community Space: A safe and inclusive environment where connection and collaboration thrive.


Our Mission
Our mission is to make art accessible to everyone while fostering healing and well-being. Through creative expression, we aim to break down stigmas around mental health and create a supportive community where individuals can grow, connect, and find balance.

Join Us
At Atelier for Healing, art is more than creativity, it is a journey toward wellness. We invite you to join us as we explore the power of artistic expression to heal, connect, and transform lives.
