WHAT IS
ART FROM HEART?

Art from Heart is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to enriching communities through art. We collaborate with senior centers, nursing homes, local charities, businesses and schools to create and facilitate art projects, visual art performances, and events. We believe in the power of art to transform lives, and our efforts focus on providing meaningful and fulfilling artistic experiences to those in need.

MEET THE FOUNDER

My name is Avni Sriram.

As a junior at The Quarry Lane School, I am driven by a passion for music, art, and community engagement. With over eleven years of piano playing experience, I’ve learned to express myself with confidence and creativity, and I extend that same energy to other artistic pursuits like painting and drawing. Motivated to make a meaningful difference, I founded the 501 (c)(3) non-profit initiative Art from Heart, a platform where young artists can use their talents to benefit the community. Through this initiative, we not only develop our own skills but also channel our creativity into projects that inspire, connect, and uplift those around us. The dual focus on purposeful artistry and personal growth is at the heart of everything we do.

MEET THE
TEAM

The Art from Heart Leadership Team is made up of passionate volunteers who lead with heart and purpose. Each member brings their own creative spirit, experience, and care to guide our mission and support the community we serve. Together, they ensure that every project reflects the compassion, collaboration, and joy that define Art from Heart.
