Hi, I’m Dr. Hope Blecher.
I specialize in crafting collective impact projects.
These are opportunities for community engagement
infused with arts and education.
The contents emerge from my wonderings and wanderings.
The programs come together piece by piece, touching tangents and forming a community mosaic, a tapestry of time and space,
of belonging.
This site holds the four cornerstones, with room to move by taking tiny, mighty beautiful steps towards the outcome.

ArtiSt
Arting from creating, drawing, painting, developing black and white photos in the basement darkroom, teaching, to arts in the classroom, as an outlet, as part of Hope, has been happening over the years.
With two children attending arts high school and following arts related career pathways, I reached out to touch the brush, get my fingers filled with dabs of glue, and step into a studio shed.
My work has been displayed as part of Voices of Survivors: Inspiring Hope, Sanctuary, Compassion and Community; Art in Sixes; Metamorphosis, and more.
