“Echoes of Youth: Journeys of Self-Discovery'' is a collaborative project between SPAACES and the Safe Children Coalition, running from August 2024 to June 2025, highlighting the experiences of foster youth in Sarasota/Bradenton. Featuring the artwork of fifteen young individuals, the initiative explores their unique paths of adaptation, self-discovery, and identity. Guided by artist and SPAACES founder Marianne Chapel, participants will express their journeys through experimental art, emphasizing unconventional pedagogy. The project aims to amplify the voices of foster youth, honoring their stories, and empowering them as active members of society and future changemakers, showcasing the transformative impact of socially engaged art.
