A Bright Spot for Ruby Jo

After a challenging few years experiencing isolation and loss during the pandemic, 7-year-old Ruby Jo needed to find some normalcy in her life.

Ruby Jo’s mother, Joleen, heard about an after-school program at Newberry Arts Center that provided Ruby Jo with an outlet for her creativity and gave her confidence in what she could create. Ruby Jo has found a bit of brightness in her new hobby, expressing herself through canvas painting. Joleen is glad to have the Newberry Arts Center as a resource for Ruby Jo.
