Enjoy the full show and check out "Brotherhood" and more of our incredible artwork at CourageOnCanvas.org
With profound gratitude, we thank everyone who was able to join us on the 18th, purchase some artwork, contribute to the work we're doing in this unique year, and share and spread joy. Every act of compassion this year is also an act of COURAGE - the courage we need to uplift one another as we uplift ourselves. We are deeply grateful in this month of giving!

A special shoutout to all those who are new members of the LPTM family - thank you for joining us on this incredible journey our young men have embarked on. And a special shoutout to those who have long been supporters and advocates of our boys and young men - thank you for being there every step of the way! And one more shoutout to Mignotae Kebede, Mansa Johnson, and MigKeb Productions for once again capturing the LPTM story so beautifully and authentically

We wish you all the happiest and safest of holidays, celebrated with physical distancing but always together.

We know we ask a lot of you, but always, always, always, it’s because of the incredible community we can build together. That’s why we set this goal of raising $50,000 by Giving Tuesday on December 1st, and why we will keep asking after that! We're over halfway to our goal with over 150 people who have contributed so far or purchased LPTM artwork, and that doesn't include checks currently in the mail, our wonderful donors who contribute through Benevity, or the more than $5,500 we've received in art sales. Thank you to each and every one of you who has contributed in support of our youth and families!
 
With so much gratitude, thank you for joining Courage On Canvas and being a part of the LPTM family, as we collectively discover our shared humanity.

Creating Art...Changing Lives!

These words are more than a phrase to us. Creative expression is powerful. LPTM Apprentices walk through the world holding onto their power, inspired by their innate ability to be change agents, and proud of their accomplishments as gentlemen, scholars, artists, athletes, and leaders. Our boys and young men are creating art and changing lives by sewing their "life pieces" into "masterpieces" - masterpieces in the art they create, the lives they lead, and the communities we build together. 

At LPTM, we hold onto the premise that LOVE + SECURITY + EXPRESSION = LIFE.  While the world around us seems to shake each element of that equation, here at Life Pieces everyone pours energy in to ensure that everyone lives and thrives.  Every day, boys look after one another; families take care of each other; parents, children, staff, and board members come together to support and grow together. We don’t just say but we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all of us, and we know that we are all stronger because we are together.
