Empower and Enrich.
"The opportunity for my sons, Owen and Leo, to work on valuable, functional skills, whether selling artwork or preparing for programs, is something we want to offer others. Rooted in principles of inclusion, we want to share what we know while continuing to learn on this journey."

Meet the Sutcliffe Family
Heather Sutcliffe and her two sons work together to raise money and provide resources for the MOLA community. Now retired, Heather's parents volunteer their support in many ways. Leo's Granny lends her sewing support, making catnip toys out of fabric with Leo's artwork. Through MOLA, the Sutcliffe family gains valuable experience, hones new skills and makes a positive impact.
"I like having my art shows because I see all the things I have made. I hope it makes people happy to see."
