Art Education. Youth Development. Community Impact.
We empower young minds through after-school classes and the donation of quality art supplies—because creativity changes everything.
AOD Mission
Art Over Destruction empowers at-risk youth to transform their lives through creative expression. By providing free art supplies, mentorship, and therapeutic programs, we channel young energy away from self-destructive behaviors and toward artistic growth. We believe every brushstroke builds resilience, every canvas sparks hope, and every young artist deserves the tools to rewrite their story.
