We are happy to announce that Open Hearts Art Center recently made the switch to electronic documentation with Therap, a digital records system! The new system will allow our program to manage artist records with more efficiency, security, and accuracy. Pictured in the photo are Open Hearts staff during the Therap training.

Funding for this program was provided by the Peterson Endowment Fund, Mountin’ Hopes Therapeutic Riding Fund, and Gretchen Batra Fund and The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. The Peterson Endowment Fund, Mountin’ Hopes Therapeutic Riding Fund, and Gretchen Batra Fund are endowments created to support the charitable needs of our community. The Peterson Endowment Fund, Mountin’ Hopes Therapeutic Riding Fund, and Gretchen Batra Fund are affiliates of The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, a nonprofit serving eighteen counties in Western North Carolina that inspires philanthropy and mobilizes resources to enrich lives and communities in Western North Carolina. The Foundation is a permanent regional resource that facilitated $18 million in charitable giving last year. More information can be found atwww.cfwnc.org.
