For the last decade, The Empowerment Factory nonprofit has been known as a hub of positivity and creativity among RI families. The nonprofit is dedicated to giving children the skills they need to live happier, healthier, more empowered lives through hands-on art and literacy programming.

TEF’s founder, Gail Ahlers, expressed her excitement about this year’s event, stating, "We are thrilled to celebrate eight years of promoting health and wellness in our community. The Healthy Living Community Event is a day where everyone can come together, learn, and have fun while making positive choices for their lives. We look forward to another successful event and to continuing our mission of youth empowerment."

Families are welcomed to join in the fun at their 8th Annual Healthy Living Community Event, part of the Pawtucket Arts Festival, for an accessible and engaging introduction into the exciting world of artmaking. The day is sure to be filled with opportunities to form lasting family memories as kids get to learn new ways to think and express themselves creatively with help from experienced local artists and RISD art students.

Learn about local wildlife with a guided step-by-step animal drawing instruction from wildlife experts and artists.

Join a special printmaking workshop using a real, antique printing press and positive affirmations supervised by The Empowerment Factory staff.

And many more activities are in store!

All The Empowerment Factory activities are completely free and open to the public- building community, growing children’s confidence in themselves, and empowering youth with the skills to succeed in school and in life.
