Its mission is to use the power of black art to transform individuals, unite groups of people, and enrich, and draw inspiration from the inner city. Art Sanctuary brings to the inner city artists who display the brilliance and transforming power of Black art and helps people in this city create their own powerful expressions and connect to the larger artistic community. Art Sanctuary is delighted to have worked with five outstanding interns.
