Each Friday Charisse Sotto, a volunteer with TAL, teaches wellness center participants various techniques in artistic expression  Funded by the El Dorado Community Foundation and Barton Foundation, the program not only develops artistic skills, but also allows participants to focus on a positive, creative process that builds confidence and pride in their accomplishments.

The exhibit will be a juried event with renowned local artist and Lake Tahoe Community College art director Phyllis Shafer serving as jurist.
