Transforming Lives of Youth and Young Adults Through Art
Welcome to The Canvas of Hope Foundation




At Canvas of Hope Foundation, we empower young adults to rewrite their stories and build brighter futures. Through education, job training, health services, and creative expression, we break down barriers that stand in the way of success. Our programs provide the tools, mentorship, and support needed for personal growth, stability, and long-term achievement.
We believe that creativity and opportunity go hand in hand—by nurturing both, we help youth unlock their full potential. Through strong community partnerships, we ensure every young person has the guidance and resources to overcome challenges, reclaim their future, and thrive.
Upcoming Events
Celebrating the Power and Brilliance of Gospel Music Community Building
Brilliance Gospel Workshop Weekend with Eric Dozier
April 4-6, 2025
Hosted by Brilliance Pacific Northwest Interfaith Gospel Choir, Baha’is of Seattle and St. Therese Parish, Seattle.
About the Workshop Weekend
African American Spirituals and Gospel music contain some of the most powerful American poetry, and speak of a love for all humanity. They reflect joys and sorrows, hopes and fears, personal struggles and dreams. They have carried hidden messages about resistance and escape and continue to this day to testify to the resilience of the human spirit. The 2025 Brilliance Gospel Workshop weekend is a unique, interactive workshop experience building community and gaining vocal techniques singing Gospel music.

Through hands-on workshops, collaborative projects, and guided mentorship, participants are encouraged to experiment, express, and evolve as artists.
