The  Light of The Heart: A Community Art Therapy Project has partnered with Triple Threat Mentoring to provide East Aurora High School students the opportunity to express themselves and build community through art making. The students created
with a theme of superheroes, exploring personal superhero characters through painting, collage, and three-dimensional mask-making. The students’ creations will be showcased in a special exhibit called: A Journey of Undiscovered Heroes at the Aurora Public Library, 1 E. ...Benton Street, with an opening reception on Wednesday, November 20th, from 4:00pm-5:00pm. 

The students joined the program with an interest in art and a desire to express themselves creatively. Through this program, they have gained insight, perspective, and a safe place to explore new talents.  They are proud to share their work with the community of Aurora, and hope they will inspire others to pursue their dreams and passions.  A Journey of Undiscovered Heroes will be on display through the end of the year, stop by to be inspired.
