I WISH YOU KNEW

TRAVELING ART EXHIBITION

Transform Your Space Into a Platform for Unheard Voices

Every child in foster care has a story that deserves to be heard. Through art, these powerful narratives come to life—revealing trauma, resilience, healing, and hope. Host the "I Wish You Knew..." traveling art exhibition at your church or organization and become part of the movement to transform how our communities understand and respond to foster care.

  • Across our nation, approximately 400,000 children navigate the foster care system daily. Behind each number is a child with unique experiences, challenges, and perspectives that often remain unheard.

    At Joy Meadows, we believe that transformation begins with understanding. Our traveling art exhibition creates a bridge between these children's experiences and your community, fostering empathy, awareness, and ultimately, action.

    When you host this exhibition, you're not just displaying art—you're amplifying voices that have been silenced for too long.

  • This immersive exhibition features 24 powerful pieces of artwork created by children and families directly impacted by foster care. Each piece tells a unique story—a window into experiences rarely shared in public spaces.

    As visitors move through the exhibition, they'll encounter authentic expressions of grief, loss, trauma, healing, and hope. Audio recordings provide an immersive backdrop, with actual voices explaining "what foster care is to me."

    The journey begins with "I Wish You Knew..." and concludes with "Now you know..."—inviting your community not just to witness these stories, but to respond with newfound understanding and compassion.

    This isn't just an art show—it's a catalyst for transformation in how we see, understand, and support those impacted by foster care.

  • Pieces in the exhibition come from submissions to Joy Meadows’s Annual Art Contest.
