| Wellness Works brings together the combined energies of ART from the ashes (AFTA), Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health (LA Trust) and California School Health Centers (CSHC). The LA Trust and CSHC support current and emerging school health centers by promoting school wellness, advocating for improved school health policy and helping communities start-up and sustain school health centers. In the spirit of "Support. Inspire. Create. Renew.", AFTA will use art as a creative avenue to symbolize transformation and renewal.
Within the LAUSD there are over 800 schools and 650,000 students. 75% of the students qualify for school lunch and therefore are below poverty level. LAUSD has nearly 40 health centers of which, 14 are being constructed this year as full service community wellness centers in the highest need areas and on the school campuses.
"Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela

The art exhibition for Wellness Works will showcase artworks created by 32 Los Angeles based artists. Each one of a kind work of art will incorporate reclaimed materials from the recently demolished automotive/machine shop at Hollywood High School; the future site of a new school-based health center. The art is symbolic of how students’ lives can be transformed when they have access to healthcare, as well as a testament to the power of art to support community. Participating artists are donating 100% of their talent.
