The History of Angel Boy Art, Inc.

Angel Boy Art is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 because of a special young artist named Louis Angelo Vitale, Jr. When Louie was ten months old he began painting as part of his physical therapy. It soon became clear that the painting was not only good physical therapy, but also a means of communication and building confidence. Louie's mother, an artist herself, founded Angel Boy Art after seeing the immense benefits art brought her son. Read About Louie Jr.

Our Mission Statement

Angel Boy Art has defined three main goals: To help children with special differences flourish, communicate and express themselves through art; to raise money for economically disadvantaged children with special differences and their families by selling their art and to break down stigmas surrounding children with special differences by engaging the community with a myriad of hands-on approaches.

Angel Boy Art’s programs revolve around providing critical support to children with special differences and their families with emphasis on reaching economically disadvantaged children. Angel Boy Art is committed to bringing therapeutic art sessions to individual families in their homes as well as groups of children in hospitals and respite facilities. Projects also focus on involving the community in a way that allows for education about children with special differences while promoting the establishment of open communication regarding the issues children with special differences face.
