Abstract
The purpose of this capstone thesis project was to write and submit a grant proposal to fund a mobile art studio project to support Arab refugee children living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Newly arriving refugees are among the most vulnerable communities due to limited recourses, language barriers, unemployment, and restricted transportation. Such barriers hinder access to healthcare and deny refugees the necessary opportunity to seek help for their traumatic experiences. Community art-based interventions have shown to be effective in improving traumatic symptoms of the refugee population. The goal of this mobile art studio project was to offer refugee children a free, easy-to-access, and creative outlet for self-expression, healing and advocacy. In order to fund this project, a proposal was submitted for the Art and Change grant by The Leeway Foundation in partnership with Al-Bustan Seeds of Culture, a Philadelphia based organization.
