Broken Wings engages the viewer through art and invites growth. It’s a twofold process. First, just like a butterfly changes within the cocoon, individuals are invited into a transformative experience. A personal opportunity for growth. As visitors interact, the work begins the process of changing, transforming, and emerging.
Secondly, the work connects the artist and the viewers through collaboration. One smiling woman said, “This work makes me feel so connected to others. My kindness promise is linked to another’s promise. So, in a way, this work links us all together.”
This woman experienced hope through engaging art. She experienced the power of healing within an interactive creative experience. Her contribution, as well as everyone else’s, has the potential to bring about collective change. Eventually, after visitors had written their promises and the work was ready to emerge, like the butterfly, the kindness-promises took flight.

It was an honor for Broken Wings to be featured at the @grmuseum for #ArtPrize10.
Cyberbullying provides the unique opportunity for bullies to viciously and anonymously hurt others through the use of electronic devices. Tragically, some of the victims end up being so overwhelmed by effects of cyberbullying that they suicide.
Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the Center for Disease Control. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it.
To help promote safety and healing for vulnerable students struggling against social aggression, Broken Wings has teamed up with Jeff Veley, a national bullying specialist. Jeff has over a decade of experience with equipping parents and educators to help students navigate social challenges. Visit Jeff’s website for more helpful information on empowering students to cope with the unique threats and dangers of cyberbullying.
What is one thing you can do to counteract cyberbullying? How can you encourage others through your social media posts?

It’s an honor for Broken Wings to collaborate with national bullying specialist, Jeff Veley. Jeff has been helping students for over decade deal with bullying issues. Through a variety of free materials online, Jeff helps students make friends and manage enemies. His online videos give tips on how to navigate cyberbullying as well.
Cyberbullying presents unique challenges with anonymity and an endless cyber reach. Younger and younger children are gaining access to online exposure through their devices, such as cell phones, laptops, and iPads. Bullies and other dangerous predators can potentially influence or communicate with your children or students through these devices.
To counteract this possible risk or danger, Jeff has compiled free resources on various topics. He also keeps parents and educators up to date with rapid ever-changing apps and technology. Visit Jeff’s website to learn more on how to protect your kids.
