Getting sober is difficult.
Staying sober is equally challenging.
We focus on helping you stay sober by providing a vibrant and sober creative community that comes together to have exhilarating fun as we create and exhibit our work. If you are in recovery, we invite you and your family to join us.
Our Mission
Hope Creates empowers youth and adults in recovery from, or at risk of, Substance Use Disorder to stay sober by engaging in the expressive arts and a vibrant and creative sober community.
Hope is the Seed that Sparks the Desire to Create Something Better
