They use the healing power of art to recover and create stable, productive lives for themselves and their children. The women range in age from their 20's to their 70's, and the average age of a Wisdom artist is in her 40's. No art background is required to participate in the program. By using the creative process in a warm, supportive environment, WWP teaches women that they have the potential to shape their own lives. Expressing themselves in paintings, sketches, sculpture, writing and poetry rekindles their spirit and sense of self-worth. The goal of Women's Wisdom Project is to allow women to express themselves through art and regain the emotional strength to re-enter society, rejoin their families, go back to school, or join the working world.

Since its inception, WWP has held over 3,000 classes for nearly 5,000 women each year in the Sacramento region. WWP contracts with "Award Winning" local artists to teach classes. Classes are held Monday through Thursday each week. Art classes include: watercolor, fabric art, gourd making, jewelry making, arts and crafts, poetry, journals and acrylic painting. All artists participating in the Women's Wisdom Project are invited to enter their work in semi-annual art exhibits. The art exhibits are held throughout the Sacramento region with 100% of the proceeds going directly to each individual artist.
