Paul’s Vision: Art as a Lifeline A brief look at Paul Field’s journey to founding Artshine and Arts4All: Paul’s journey began in the field of social work… Where he saw firsthand how art could be a lifeline for those struggling with life’s challenges. Paul used art to create safe spaces for healing and growth. However, he quickly realized that consistent funding for art programs was always in short supply. That’s why Paul founded Artshine—to create a sustainable model that would keep these essential programs alive; Arts4All.
