The Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen
Drumming and Art Group

The Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen Drumming and Art Group is a community program that uses the expressive arts to bring together artists, soup kitchen guests and volunteers in a weekly creative experience. Each group begins with a drumming circle that segues into an arts session focused on diverse specialties such as mask making, mandala making or the construction of individual percussion instruments. Drumming helps the group to bond and access their creative selves, preparing the participants for the art experience. This group is open to anyone from the community who wants to join. This open model invites informal dialogue between the participants and opens the door for increased understanding and communication between people from different back grounds, creating healing for the community and offering a space for creative collaboration.
