HEART TO HOST A “HAPPY DAYS” HEART SHOW AT ST. BARNABAS LUTHERAN CHURCH

Holistic Education and Art Recreation Therapy (HEART) is a healthy and creative activity program for adults with special needs. They are welcoming guests to their Happy Days heART Show on Thursday July 7, from 6pm-7pm hosted at St. Barnabas Lutheran Church located at 45 Moultrie St., Downtown Charleston.  Each 6-week session at HEART has a different theme where local artists and volunteers dedicate their time and share their talents to help HEART participants produce multi-media heART Shows.

HEART’s Happy Days heART Show is a throwback to the beloved TV series set in the 50s.  The Fonz will be making several appearances to ensure an evening of fun and laughter while the V-Tones will set the mood as live musical accompaniment throughout the show.  HeARTist’s funky artwork will also be on display in the gallery.  It will be a creative experience of music, dance, art, and community. 

HEART’s Handmade will have a pop-up shop at the event. HEART's Handmade is a micro-business HEART launched in April 2016 that employs HEART participants (aka; Heartists) making and selling organic vegetarian dog treats and dog bow ties. We sell these treats, as well as arts and crafts made at HEART, at farmers markets and pop-up shops around the lowcountry. This creates a revenue stream for HEART and employment for the Heartists.

HEART launches a micro-business

HEART's Handmade was started in April 2016 to employ qualified HEART participants (aka; Heartists). HEART is an arts & nature based activity program for adults with special needs. We hope the business will also generate revenue for HEART, a 501(c)3 non-profit that relies on tuition, grants, fundraising, donations, and volunteerism to continue serving our exceptional adult community. HEART's Handmade bakes organic dog treats and makes gorgeous dog bowties. Currently, we sell our goods along with other arts & crafts made by the Heartists at at Folly Beach Farmer's Market and various pop-up shops. We plan to get HEART's Handmade into veterinarian's offices, pet stores, and in CSA's around the lowcountry. Let us know if you want HEART's Handmade near you!
