The goal of the You Are Amazing Foundation project is to create a positive message through art. Programming through the project includes utilizing community events to create murals or other types of artwork that spreads the positive message that “You Are Amazing.”  Artwork installments are done in areas with underserved or under‑recognized populations, with the intention to increase the beauty of the space, spread a positive message, and bring awareness to the area adjacent to the installation. In cases where the art installations are hands‑on, this brings a sense of ownership of the work and message to those involved. The project will also incorporate messages around health and wellness through community events, with emphasis on physical and mental wellbeing, as well as positive communication.
