The Arts program, under the guidance of
local artist Rocki Karnatz, provides The Carpenter's Place (CP) Guests opportunities to
discover creative abilities, and learn discipline through bringing a project to
completion. Offering a safe atmosphere and a variety of supplies, the Art Circle has
become increasingly popular with CP Guests. Completing an art or craft project will often
boost self-esteem and motivation, as well as provide the discipline that will aid a Guest
in other daily life situations.
There is a lot of talent in the homeless
population. The art work of many Guests has been, and is, displayed at various local art
studios and galleries. Many Guests are also very creative writers, one Guest having
written a children's book that is currently being considered for publication. Music is
another area that many Guests have been gifted with both playing instruments as well as in
song.
