A Creative Outlet

Art can provide a way for people to express themselves and their feelings. It can improve self-esteem, self-awareness, be a way to bring people together and increase communication skills.


At Hetlinger we not only provide regular craft activities, but are also proud to partner with both Emporia State University's Art Therapy department and The Emporia Arts Council to deepen our artistic offerings.
