Art Inside Out is a twelve-lesson, evidence-based program that combines art and encouraging material to help create a better you. Each lesson includes positive healthy thoughts, connections between art and life, fun exercises, reflective questions, and drawing activities.

Art Inside Out is about restoring self-value. We have learned many things throughout our lives, some good and some bad. Your genuine self is who you really are and the place to start if you decide to be a better person. Believing you are valuable and capable of change is of utmost importance. Art Inside Out will help you rediscover your genuine self and create a positive inner dialogue that reflects who you are as a unique and valuable person.

Everyone loves Art and we are born with the need to create. When you are creating, your mind is in overdrive, and desperately searches for information and instruction in order to make your creation the very best. While this is happening, we are able to understand and use the instruction and guidance we listen to. That’s why it’s important to fill your mind with positive words. Then you will be ready to create not only art, but you can also create a new you.

This program is amazing. Kirk’s story and his knowledge of art have been combined to create a program that people connect with. It engages their creativity and helps open their mind to new concepts and healthy thinking.

To teach this class to inmates I believe is a great idea because it fosters self-esteem and gives individuals another way of looking at the world. Art is very therapeutic, and it’s great this prison gives us this class.

We use the Art Inside Out Program at our Recovery Center in St. Paul Minnesota. AIO works well with people struggling with addictions. The concept allows my clients the ability to reach their true selves.
