As part of our Cheers to 85 Years! celebration, we’re proud to present a special Art Show and Silent Auction in partnership with the San Joaquin County Office of Education (SJCOE), showcasing original works created by students from the Cruikshank Court School’s art therapy program.

This program provides a meaningful therapeutic outlet for young people to express their emotions in a healthy, constructive way. Through art, they have found joy, emotional healing, and a chance to showcase their creative talents. The upcoming art show will feature a variety of unique pieces—including masks and canvas artworks—that highlight the powerful impact of creativity.
