Partner Spotlight: ArtLifting

To bring beauty and serenity to our newest Roxbury-based shelter for migrant families, Heading Home partnered with ArtLifting, an organization that champions artists impacted by disabilities and housing insecurity by connecting their art with socially-conscious businesses and customers. ArtLifting donated 36 works of art to make our clients feel more at home while staying in our programs. We are so grateful for this generous donation and for the opportunity to partner with ArtLifting and its artists who have shared lived experiences with our clients.

“ArtLifting is proud to have Heading Home as a Community Partner. We hope the recent donation of prints sparks creativity and fosters a sense of inclusion and belonging for their employees and the community members they serve.” – Liz Powers, Co-Founder, and CEO of ArtLifting.

Our volunteer coordinator, Calleigh Leach, said, “Staff were so excited to curate the space for our clients. The art changed the environment and made it feel more like a home. We want people to have a place to come home to that is bright and welcoming, and the art definitely made the space feel more inviting.”

Thank you, ArtLifting, for kindly working with us to bring a smile to our clients’ faces. With the help of partners like ArtLifting, we make our shelters feel like home for over 2,000 clients annually on their journeys out of homelessness.
