The Art Room is a small charity based in Oxford and London that helps seeks to increase the self-esteem, confidence, and independence of children and young people grappling with emotional difficulties and behavioral issues through art.
According to the organization’s web site, many of its children are “disengaged from mainstream education, disruptive or withdrawn and all have been identified as needing special time away from their school.” Students come from a variety of backgrounds and face a variety of troubles, from learning disabilities to the foster care system.
