Healthy Lifestyle=Acheive Your Dreams

 We ask participants to write their dreams on a chalkboard and then be photographed holding them. These photos capture each individual’s current reality and future aspirations.

We then, through this creative engagement, support participants in understanding the key role that a healthy lifestyle has in achieving their dreams.
 

Coloring is not just for kindergarteners!

Rainbow Plate Project artist Alpha Bruton alphabruton.com/ creates mobile installations in Chicago. As she blogs about her visit to the William Hill Sculpture Garden, I am struck by it's connection to a Rainbow Plate. Our opportunities to grow food in your garden and allow us to eat good food! 
Most interesting to my mind are the possibilities presented when when  communities that grow our food and the communities of creative artists collaborate.
