Outreach
SOHO (a Space of Her Own) is an award-winning art mentoring
program serving low-income at-risk pre-teen girls in Alexandria.
The program was developed in collaboration with The Art
League and the Alexandria Court Service Unit. Girls and
mentors participate in a year long arts and life-skills
program, concluding with the redecoration of the girls'
bedrooms. By providing stability, a nurturing and creative
environment, and by promoting and developing meaningful
intergenerational relationships, SOHO has successfully
helped improve the lives of hundreds of girls in Alexandria
to date.
