In partnership with The Krause Children’s Treatment Center, Katy ARTreach is bringing the therapeutic arts and art-related activities to boys and girls who are suffering from behavioral and emotional problems, often as the result of abuse and neglect. Katy ARTreach is supporting the Center’s Expanding Horizons Program by bringing in visual art, drama, music, and dance and providing a range of creative activities the children would not otherwise experience.

The Krause Center is a residential treatment facility that is home to 60 children, ages 11 to 17. Placed at Krause by the Childrens Protective Service or the juvenile justice system, the residents receive treatment for a range behavioral or emotional issues stemming from the effects of physical and sexual abuse, abandonment, and neglect. Katy ARTreach designed the Center’s Expanding Horizons through Art program to teach the children to use art as a vehicle for expression, a coping mechanism, and a valuable communication outlet. The program incorporates weekly art classes, theater programs, artist and composer in residence programs, field trips to museums and local artist studios, along with jazz and classical music concerts.

Katy ARTreach is a nonprofit organization providing art educational support to under-served school communities within the Texas counties of Katy and Fort Bend. Katy ARTreach seeks to bring the arts to the underprivileged and is dedicated to serving at-risk children, troubled youth, families in crisis, and the elderly.
