Express Your Selfie
Our "Express Your Selfie" show can now be found at the downtown Jacksonville Library through mid February on the walls of the Teen Room.
A different format of the show will be displayed through May at the Jacksonville International Airport on the baggage claim floor by the escalators.
For those who missed the show at MOCA you now have additional opportunities to see it in person!

Collaborating for Honorees
Each year Episcopal Children's Services recognizes those working tirelessly on behalf of the children in our community. The 9th annual event celebrated the contributions of Children's Champions Honorees. A collaborative effort with Art with a Heart in Healthcare artists and Episcopal Early Learning Academy Students created gifts for the event honorees.
Art & Antique Show
In December, Art with a Heart worked in conjunction with the Women's Board's annual Art & Antiques show. Art with a Heart procured some of the artwork which were given as gifts to sponsors by current and past patients featured in the Children's Fashion Show.
