Jagged Lines of Imagination (JLI – founded in 2006) has been a program of Family Resource & Referral since 2015. JLI maintains a studio at the Teen Impact Center (TIC), a city-owned facility operated by FRRC since 2011, where it offers weekly free all-ages art classes & a variety of workshops — all led by professional artists, plus open studio time, and bi-annual shows of student art. JLI’s mission is to provide the community with training and skill to promote art as a vital component to developing self-expression and character. JLI’s goal is to provide all members of our community with quality art education that will enable them to:
• become more alert to and appreciative of art in their surroundings;
• acquire knowledge that will allow them to relate to and evaluate art meaningfully;
• produce art that expresses their thoughts and feelings in a satisfying way.
JLI’s key strengths are our Lead Artists, our art studio, our regular hours & schedule of art activities, & FRRC’s support.
