"A grant from CARE enabled us to develop a concept paper defining how our organization can serve as a model CARE ministry. As a new faith-based organization using art to serve homeless and low-income youth, we are simply delighted to be collaborating with CARE. Youth Spirit Artwork's relationship with CARE will help us fulfill our mission in multiple ways."
~ Sally Hindman, Youth Spirit Artworks

"CARE uniquely nourishes and supports the arts in a theological setting, and I am personally grateful to be included in and supported by its vision. As a sacred dancer I have spent years exploring the heights and depths of religious inspiration, endeavering to create a spirituality which includes the body in prayer, which includes our souls dancing in relation to the Spirit, searching for the God who dwells in all things, and who can be touched through bodily movement. The courses I have taught, and dances I have created with Omega West Dance Company (in residence at CARE), have been developed in the CARE milieu of deep respect for the interface of the arts and religion. Thank you to all, Carin, our director, board, faculty, artists and supporters, especially remembering our founder, Doug Adams, whose boundless enthusiasm encouraged me into further expression.

"I have received a grant to remount in the spring, Beyond Words: An Interfaith Ritual for Peace. Dr. Joan Carter and I created this work in 2003 specifically with the GTU in mind as an expression of its philosophy of interreligous study and understanding. I believe the ritual inspires participants and audience alike to recognize the profound beauty and complimentarity of the world's diverse faith expressions. The ritual incorporates movements and chant forms from major religious traditions, woven together in the languages of dance and music."
