The Ma’at Community Healing and Art Garden is a multi-faceted space for art and garden fusion with community engagement to heal from the loss of their loved ones promoting social bonding, social capital, and forming relationships with community members.
Our Mission: To improve general community well-being, health, and beautify the city. Abandoned lots will be transformed using nature & art, so these are areas that the community can cherish and be proud of. The Community Art & Healing Garden will provide the community with a space for refuge and promote healing from trauma. Gardens will promote healing because humans are hard-wired to find nature engrossing and soothing. Research shows that nature refocuses our attention, lessens stress and hasten healing Throughout the city, each garden will be dedicated to a different trauma that the Wilmington community faces i.e. gun violence, addiction, etc. Furthermore, the Community Art & Healing Garden will be a multifaceted use of space i.e. youth activities, art galleries, yoga etc.
