Challenged children are at the heart of our programs, ‘Building Community Through Art’ is at the pinnacle of our goals & serves as our mission. We trust that art as a tool can help us overcome obstacles to success & assist each of us in reaching our fullest potential. Art is both a lens for the examination of societal ills & the canvas on which the solutions can be worked out. The TSETSE Gallery is committed to providing a culturally artistic space for all ages, ethnicities & abilities with the expectation to further the community’s understanding & compassion towards social justice.
